Subject: Political assessments: Decree of the Imperial Protector - BdS IV - 47/41 g of 26.2.1941. With the enacted decree, the Reichsregierung was introduced with regard to the preparation of political assessments and political announcements about Germans, and it was established that this does not relate to inquiries concerning persons of Czech nationality and in so far the exclusive competence of the SD section of Prague is given. I would like to point out, from the point of view of the assessment of persons of Czech nationality, that the concept of political reliability and thus of a "political assessment" in the sense of the Reichsregierung is not applicable. It is therefore not applicable, for every occupation, assignment, etc. The question to be addressed to the SD may only be whether the nature and importance of the activity to be carried out by the Czech in question requires reliability in the field of security police and whether circumstances, such as the appointment of a representative, etc. of the 16 Member States concerned, are known.
