Reclassification of the Oberlandrat Districts The Obergruppenführer decided that the boundaries of the new Oberlandrate Districts should be consistent with the borders of the political circles, whereby a Oberland Council District can, if necessary, also enclose political circles of different Gauleitungen. Therefore the following classification: a) Königgrätz (district management of Königglätz) a Prague without city Prague (diary management of Prague) 0 Pilsen (divisions of Pilsen and Klattau) d) Budweis (dictional management of Budwei and provisionally the 4 Bohemian districts of the district management of Iglau) e) Ig Lau - despite certain concerns about the smallness of the region (circular management of the Igłau) f) Brno (diaction of Brno) g) Moravian-Ostrau (territory of the districts of Moravia-Ostrau and Olmütz): the seat in Moravia- Ostrau should be chosen in order to clearly demonstrate the further affiliation of the Moravian Ostrauer district to the Protektorat. Over the city of Prague, the President of the State, in his capacity as Inspector General, is to exercise the supervision of the Reichsaufsicht, which is otherwise reserved for the Oberlandrats.A change of the Göhmisch-Mährische state border with regard to the organization of the political circle Iglau is to be temporarily omitted. Changes to party boundaries should be included in the proposal only to the extent that the Gauleiter had already decided on this (Zlin district), because of the controversial district of Zlin, an eloquence to Gauleiter representative Donnevert with copy for Gauleider jury should go beyond that, according to which the Reichsprotektor Zlin leaves in its previous organizational position (South Moravia), if the two Gauleitungen do not agree on another regulation. 2.
