In addition to serious threats to the administrative work absolutely necessary for the war economy, further confiscations should also lead to serious political dangers. In order to prevent this and to continue to bear the responsibility for the country's complete peace and security and for the swiftest fulfilment of all the war-decisive in this area of arms, which is so important for the Reich, I urge you to refrain from further confiscations in the administrative sector of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia under all circumstances. I would be grateful if you would inform me of the decision alebaldt made. 3. To the General Plenipotentiary for the Reichsverwaltung, Berlin NW7 Unter den Linden 72.
