English Translation

However, the rules governing offences committed in the Protectorate are also unwieldy. They must lead to inconsistencies and delays in the punishable gangs committed in both the Protectorates and the rest of the Reich. As far as essential concerns of the Protectories are concerned, I am prepared to establish agreement with the Reichsprotekter. o p 4 S would like to know when the Reichaproteltor could explain in general his agreement for certain graces for the duration of the war at least. However, the mower will be able to leave it to the parties involved to negotiate. I propose the following regulation: 1) Until further notice, the Neichsprotector exercises the right of grace and suffrage in all criminal matters of the German courts in the Protectorate alone. 2) In criminal matters of the Volkegerichtshof and the Oberlandesgerichte in Bresleu, Dresden and Leitmeritz, the Minister of Justice of the Reich exercises the grace and repression unjustly in agreement with the Reich Protector, if a) the offence is committed in the Protectorate or b) the crime or the appeasement of the titer has a fundamental political significance for the Protectorates. The necessary agreement is also established in cases in which, according to the order of the Führer, which was communicated in the very oath of the Reich Minister and Chief of the Imperial Chancellery of 17.8.1943 - Rk. 954l E - the position of other departments on the Gna- denfrege does not need to be obtained. If the agreement is not to be reached, then the Reichsmi- nister of Justice will bring about the decision of the Führer. Heil Hitler!
