Copy. The German Minister of State Prague, 11 November 1943 for Bohemia and Moravia. II e Gen d 4017 Subject: Exercise of the right of grace in criminal sachon from the Protectorate of Bohemia and Mähren. In the Anachluss to my letter of 4 November 1943 - 11 e Gen D 4017 - q 1 draft. Dear Mr Reichsprotector! I can assume that you will be sent to Mr Reich Minister Dr. Inswichen, Horr Reichg Minister Dr. Lemmers sent to me by letter of November 3, 1943 - Rk. ll8l2 D - a copy of a very oath of the Minister of Justice of the Reich dated October 21, 1943 - 4253 - IV a 1544/43. I am not going to fail in the assumption that you have received a letter of the same nature. K.E. it is not possible for the Reichsninister of the Justis to lay down concessions beyond the proposal of the Reich Minister Dr. Lommers, which you and I have accepted. The transfer of the right of grace in criminal matters from the Protectorate of Bohemia and Kühren to the Reich Protector by the Führer is an enctum, so that there is no reason to give up a significant part of the law established by the Reichsprotektor, contrary to the prepared regulation by the Fuhrer by means of implementing regulations. I would also like to point out that, in practice and in legal terms, the statements made by the Minister of Justice of the Kingdom of Bohemia and Moravia can be made in various ways.
