St.M. IV J - 10l 1/43g. Prague, 15 September 1944. Home 15. IX. 1944 1.) KR-FS: To Mr. Reichpretekter Dr.Frick, at the time of Kempfenhausen/Oberbayern. Dear Mr Reichaprotector ! The tense situation in the Pretektorat, which is intensifying in particular with regard to the events in Slovakia, requires that the grace granted in cases of death in which its importance must follow the judgment on the ground of enforcement is made with the utmost speed. The present procedure, which I have also left to your resolution, is too long under the present circumstances, and I therefore ask you to agree that in these cases, as far as the political situation is concerned, I shall decide on the question of grace in your office. Criminal cases without this particular attack will of course continue to go to you as before. I would be grateful for immediate telex approval. Heil Hitler ! Ihr gez. Prank. 2.)
