33 30 August 1939. Ub 30.8.3y 2.) To the staff of the deputy of the Fuhrer Mü_n_c_h_e___33_ Braunes Haus. Subject: Draft decree on the confiscation of assets in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Process_: Letter from 12.8.1939 - III/04 - Ice 2530/4. As regards the draft decree on the confiscation of assets in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, I take the following position: § 1 (1) of the draft grants the Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Mähren or the authorities designated by him the power to confiscate. This version can be seen in the decree on the establishment of property against the people and against the state in the Land of Austria of 18.11.1938 (Reichsgesetzblatt I, page 162o) and in the ordinance on the confiscation of property hostile to the peoples and against states in the Sudeten German territories of 12 May 1939 (Reiksgesetzblache I, p. 9ll). However, I believe that they can be waived in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, bearing in mind that, on the basis of these provisions, the powers of confiscation have generally been delegated to the state police (headquarters) offices in the Ostmark and in the Sudeten-German territories.
