Eing.: 28 JULY 1942 I submit the draft order for the service of the Inspector General of the Administration and note it with reference to the letter of 21 July 1942. For the future position and activity of the inspector general of the administration, his classification in the existing apparatus of the Reichsprotektor is of the highest importance. Accordingly, an attempt must be made not directly to subordinate him to the person of the Reich Protector, but directly to the State Secretary. Here, reference can be made to the decree on the structure of the administration and the organization of the authority of the Imperial Protector in Bohemia and Moravia. In accordance with § 1 of the Ordinance on the structure of the working party, the head of the authority of the Reich Protector is the Secretary of State, under which all responsibilities are divided into 4 departments. It is, however, stated in § 1 that "Under the State Secretary and Under-Secretary of State", the function of the Under-State Secretary is essentially based only on the administrative summary of all departments, but not so much on the political leadership. The person of the Sub-State secretary can therefore be disregarded in this regard. An insinuation of the general inspector of the administration under the person of the Reichsprotector can also be described with the hint as missing, that the Reich Protector in the main not authority head, but representative of the Führer and of the 455 Ib-2b/42 Reich)
