English Translation

In these circumstances, the supervision of the Reich over the entire autonomous administration of the Protectorate must be particularly strong and powerful. On the other hand, it was possible to find a forum of observation which would enable the attention of autonomy to be paid. This has happened with the declaration of the German State Ministry and the measures I have ordered in this connection. The current Reichsaufsicht also in matters of a ministerial nature is exercised during the sutonome administration as a Berster or in a highly responsible position (head of sections and/or) built-in forces, which are personal jedoah further belong to my business district. In the form of the basic and political steering of the autonomous administration, the supreme authority is reserved for the Ministry of State for Bohemia and Moravia, in which the tasks of all the departments are assigned. the control over the individual autonomous ministries the director of the department of the Ministry of State in far-reaching independence and self-responsibility, the position of the autonomous ministers - which is conditional on political policy - means, in this respect, that the undiminished responsibility of the head of the division towards me is rather complicating their work. In this context, the activities of the directorate of the Ministry of State for Bohemia and Moravia are at least at the same level as those of the presidents of the main departments in the direction of the General Government, if any, of this kind.
