47 6 April 1944. The German Minister of State St.M. 160/44. Conversations to the Wehrmacht from the administration in Bohemia and Moravia. There. Letter of 19.1.1944 - Sign II A 1599/43-II - 270. N. 6.) To the Lord Plenipotentiary for the Reichsverwaltung, Berlin NW 7, Unter den Linden 72. CISIC The custody which I have placed does not refer to the fact that the High Command of the Wehrmacht did not take up any contact with me, but rather that from there the figures relating to Böhmen and Moravia have been communicated to the High command of the wehrmaat without first contacting me. The High Command from the Wehrenmacht took me under the 17.2.1944 - Wehrersatzamt Abt. E (Vb) No. 40.277/43 - that the authorised representative of the Reichsverwaltung had the opportunity to spare certain territories in the orders which he had to issue. The High Command of the Wehrmacht had already expressed its interest in the division of the respective confiscation order between the individual divisions of the Requirement Group 7, but left the division to the authorized general for the administration of the Reich. I have to assume that the fixing of the far too high paragraphs in the last confiscation operation in September is largely due to your resolution.
