Head of Division III Prague, 29 November 1942. To be presented by the Secretary of State Mr Oberstgruppenführer. Betr.i Transport in the Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia Following the enactment of the guide on transport in the Occupied Eastern Territories, the administration of railways, road transport and shipping has been united in one hand in these areas. It is advisable to apply the idea underlying the decree of the uniform administration of the transport system also in the forthcoming reorganization of the division IIl. The Reichsverkehrsministerium agrees with this regulation, as the State Secretary in the Reichsverskehr Ministry, Dr. Ganzenmüller, at a recent meeting in Berlin, has expressly confirmed. In the General Government, the integration of the East Tahn into the Deutsche Reichsbahn will enter into force on 1 January 1943, while maintaining its own railway finance administration and railway sovereignty. As Minister of State Dr Ganzen- müller has also informed me, there are no wishes at present in the area of transport in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia at the Reichsverkehrsministerium.
