According to the last paragraph, this alder3 must be given to all officials and employees of the departments listed in the mailing list. I first noticed in the decree of the reference to the tradition of the German officialship, which I received against the Czech officials and staff for at least ineffective. As I pointed out later at Z.Pers.I, during the decree, only the German officials and employees should be affected. This limitation is not expressed in any place in the decree so that I can safely assume that it will also be brought to the attention of Czech officials. The fact that a particular political feeling led all the recipients of the decree to a corresponding question cannot be accepted, after even the president of the Landesvize submitted reports to the Reichsbeauftragsverwaltung by the Czech district governors. Jenuar 1943 - St.S. IV D - 187 o/42 - the draft before the signature performance by you, group leader, should have been presented to me by the lead department. I take the view that also Er- let e.dergl., which go out under your name, must be so pre sented that you only have the basic political ideas, not more the details. as distributors. N that I reserve!
