English Translation

3 -5 - for the Czechs, to play out the Germans against one another, since it is often not possible to avoid the German experts having different opinions among themselves, according to experience. The correct thing is the following: The general officer is sent by the Reichsprotektor, but speaks for himself personally as a German consultant. In all important, above all political questions, he must not speak at all, ehe the unity on the German side is not established: if in individual cases, especially in technical matters of daily work - gives an instruction or agrees to a regulation, which then contradicts another ministry with the agreement of its general officer in the interministerial procedure. This is also not visible to BYO, but in the course of business it is inevitable that this can be carried out as a matter of priority and also for the general officer. If this were to be completely avoided, then the German should have legal and administrative new regulations introduced and the Czech result presented. This is neither political nor personal. However, the Reichsprotector and his office must not be affected by these differences of opinion. There is only one Reichsguardor, i.e. only one opinion of the Reichsptektor. They express their opinion is the responsibility of the responsible authority of his office, unless the State Secretary or the Reich provettet themselves decide. It must therefore be strictly taken into account that the Reichsprotektor only discloses the opinion of the competent and responsible RUOLE 31etal department in the case of closed-out items and finally only after making completely one-measured light opinion in the report.
