Lieber Stuckart ! aB0 We have spoken orally about the decree of the Reich Defence Commissioners in the Reich. NE I agree with the claims made for the Protectorate reto that, in the decree, the responsible guardians for the protectorate are eliminated as regards their role as Reich Defence Commissioners for their territories in the Protectorates, and that the tasks of an Imperial Defence Commissioner for the Protectionate are determined by a special decree. I propose the following order: For the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the Imperial Protector will be Reichsdefense Commissioner for his area, which is his own army. According to the regulations in the rest of the Reich area, the Protectorates would have to form a Reichdefence Committee in support of the Imperial Defence Commissioner. In order to represent the party in this committee, the four leaders of the head of the party liaison body responsible for the Protectorate will be appointed. I will still propose the composition of the Reichsdefense Committee. It will, however, contain in particular the services which have to represent the tasks of the Special Commissioners of the Führer in the Protectorate, i.e. above all the duties of Minister Speer and Gauleiter Sauckel, the functions of the Wehrmacht and the Party.
