English Translation

S - 5 - which will not raise any technical concerns, the Reichsprotektor's concern for the correct assessment and consideration of the changing political conditions and requirements of the Protectorate remains the condition that the plans established in Berlin can actually be carried out properly in the production sites of the protectorate. A ge=neral strike in the Protectorate, for example, which would be caused by a lack of consideration of the peculiarities of the area, especially of the Volkischen conditions, by places outside the Protectorium, would have to put all plans of the Reichs= put into question for the Bohemian Moravian space of today on mor=gen. 7It is therefore not a question of responsibilities or responsibilities which exclude or overlap each other. Rather, Jch would like to use the picture that the responsibilities of the Reichsstellen in their field of expertise and that of the Imperial Protector in the sense of the overall responsibility for the Prötektorat entrusted to him by Führer cross at a certain point. The establishment of a "commissioner of the Reich Protector" at the supervising office in my ministry has so far served with Er= folg and should do even more in the future to make the=se "crossing" of responsibilities as smooth as possible. Jch is convinced that senior government councillor Dr. As the incoming representative of the Reichspro=tektor at the monitoring station, he will be an elegant switcher between Berlin and Prague thanks to his earlier work in the Reich Ministry of Economics. If there are any difficulties of a fundamental nature, I am always ready to fix the disturbance of the signalling systems together with Mr Kehrl. - 6 -
