S. - VR 1 - 1736/42. belnen Reichsprotektor Bt in response above business sign and date. in Bohemia and Moravia. Eing.: 28 JULY 1942 To the office of the Secretary of State z.Hd.v. Obersturmbannführer Dr. G i e s in Prague. At the same time, I am submitting a draft order from the Inspector General of the Administration and, recalling the letter of 21 July 1942, I note the following: For the future position and activity of the Inspector-General of the administration, its classification in the existing administrative apparatus of the Imperial Protector is of the utmost importance. Demgenäß must be tried 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. According to § 1 of the Ordinance on the structure of the work to d doo c d, the head of the authority of the Reich Protector is the Secretary of State, under which all responsibilities are divided into 4 departments. However, it is stated in § 1 "Under the State Secretary and Under-Secretary of State". However, the function of the Under-Secretary of State is essentially based only on the administrative summary of all departments, but not so much on political leadership. The person of the Sub-Se Secretaries can therefore be disregarded in this respect. An insinuation of the general inspector of the administration under the person of the Reich Protector is also missing with the reference that the Reichsprotektor in the main is not the head of the authority, but the representative of the leader and the Reich.
