1h St.S. IV M - 91/41. V e r m e r k for the Lord Reichsprotektor. Based on the letter of 20 June 1941 from the Gauleiter and Chief President of Upper Silesia, the energy consultant Dr. Feith and the State Councillor Dr. Kate have detailed information about the planned merger of the Moravian-Silesian electricity plants A.G. in Moravian Ostrau with the Mittelmährische Elektrizitätswerke A. G. In summary, the Gauleiter's and Oberpräsident von Oberschlesien's concerns are based on his fear that in the event of a future division of the Protectorate and an expected allocation of the Moravian. Ostrauer Zipfels zum Gau Oberschlesia, disadvantages will arise for this Gau. Demziiber made Dr. Feith pointed out that, after the reclassification of the Sudeten German territories, the Reichsregierung demanded that the companies remaining in the former Czechoslovak Republic sell their plants in Sudete land to the Reich, represented by the electrical works A.G. This position was also expressed after the formation of the Proteltorate in consultation with the Arte des Reichsprotektors. In the course of this development, the societies of the Protectorate, among others the Moravian-Silesian electricity plants A.G., have sold their plants in the Sudetenland. In the negotiations between the Reich Government and the Government of the Protectorate, the Office of the Imperial Protector has assumed the obligation to ensure that the remaining areas are economically shaped. For more than 1 year, in consultation with the Pro- tectorate Government, the merger of the Moravian-Silesian electricity companies A.G. with the Mittelmährische Elektrizitätswerke A. G. has been sought. Negotiations have now come to an end and the relevant general meetings should take place at the end of June. On the basis of the opposition by the Gauleiter and the President of Upper Silesia, the points concerning the merger had to be dealt with by the order of the day.
