The maintenance of the government activities which encompass the interests of the Reich with the provisions of the Führer Decree of 16.3.1939 and the other relevant provisions (in particular the Ordinance on the Construction of Administration and the German Security Police in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia of 1 September 1939 - RGBl.I p. 1681) The tasks and powers laid down now lie with the German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia. These include the supreme leadership of the rich's own administration in Protectorate Bohemia and Mähren as well as the exercise of the Reich's supervision over the sound autonomous administration of the Protectorate. The authority available to the German Minister of State for this purpose bears the designation: "German State Minister for Bohemia and Moravia", Until the administrative reform in year l942, which was the basis of the Piherer Decree of 7 May 1942 - RGBl.I p.329, these tasks and powers were performed by the authority of the Reich Protector and as a subordinate authority for all branches of the administration of the Empire (with the exception of Reichebahn, Reichspost, Reichejustiz- und Reichs- Zollverwaltung) by 15 Oberlandraten. In the previous years, the war requirements had resulted in an intensive supervision of the Reich and thus an ever-increasing direct intervention in the details of the Sutonom government and administration by the aforementioned authorities. Thus, both the Reicheprotector's authority and the Oberlandratsamt had grown considerably in the beginning. The administrative reform of I942 brought about the dissolution of the Oberlandrat offices and the transfer of the rich's own administrative tasks to the autonomous administration as a "Reichsauftragsverwaltung" (Reichauftsver administration)
