94 court in the Protectorate su or set up a special senate of the People's Court at the Sits in Protectorate, a plan which was presented to the fallen // leader of the upper group Neydrich once before by Mr. Reichsminister Dr. Thierack himself. If Maoanghme Abotand has been genommonated by such a - in itself not an inappropriate -, in particular because in the Irotektorat the necessary laftraum paoe a o similar applies with regard to the jurisdiction of the Oberlan- desgerichte Breslau, Dresden and Leitmeritz. The transfer of high and state treason matters "minor importance" - it is occasionally also recognized by ibnen to death penalty - is based on this Oberlandesgerichte suf § 5 of the Jurisdictional Ordinance of 21 February 1940 (RoBl. I p. 405) in conjunction with the AV. of the RJll. of 7 July 194l (German Justice 3. 762). Instead of the Oberlan- desgerichte Wrocław, Dresden and Leitmerits, the Deutsche Oberlandesgericht in Prague would also be able to take part. Rine, by the way, would have had the advantage that the participating judges would know the special conditions in the Protectorate from a personal perspective. Again, the above-mentioned Oberlandesgerichte under the passing of the German Higher Regional Court in Prague have been determined primarily because the necessary detention space was not available in the protectorate and also for all reasons of security such a narrowness of political prisoners within the protectorates did not seem desirable. Therefore, it does not seem to me that these courts with the sits outside of Bohemia and Moravia in criminal matters from the Protectorate are mainly made up of technical and security reasons, decisive conclusions on jurisdiction in matters of grace. Only in the interests of speeding up the settlement of the matter did I agree with the misdemeanor you have made, Mr Reicha Minister, although I believe that the Reichoprotaktor will be able to do so by means of the best possible decision of the leader.
