As chairman of the Armaments Commission for the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, he told me that he reserved himself the right to trigger eviction, paralysis and destruction measures in the Protectorates as German Minister of State for Bohemia and the Moravian Republic. For this deviating rule, where the Chairman of the Arms Commission is responsible, he assumes full responsibility over Mr. Reichsminister Speer. Mini ul St.M. 11 4-51j/45g. 323/459
