Department I Prague, 7 December 1942 Subject: Transport in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Presentation of department head III to Colonel-Grüppenführer from 29 Nov. 1942. V e r m e r k : It is a question of whether road transport and shipping in the authority of the Reich Protector in the future should be classified under "transport" in accordance with the previous breakdown of the autonomous Ministry of Transport in the technical sector or together with the railways. During the discussion on the future structure of the Ministry of Transport and Technology, it was agreed with Minister D a n c o that the allocation to rail transport would be more appropriate. Ministerial conductor Danco now wishes to divide the transport division into : a) rail transport, b) road transport, c) shipping and the technical division into: a) construction, b road construction and c) hydraulic engineering. If this is done, the next step will be to relocate the autonomous Ministry of Transport and Technology accordingly. The special presentation to Oberst-Gruppeführer will have been made because of the fact that the transport issues are also dealt with in St.©.IA-322/42 BLM
