V/ Copy Der Reichsprotektor i.B.u.M. Prag, am 15. III. 1943 -M.d.F.dd.G.b.- 495/43 Herr Reichsminister und Chef der Reichskanzlei Dr. L a m e r s Berlin Voß-Str. 6 Very venerable Mr Reichs Minister ! When abolishing the Uk position of German officers and employees of the Protectorate the question is also to decide whether the German district heads should be released. With regard to the great war tasks of the Protectorate, which are well-known to you, Mr Minister, and because of the clear political leadership required, I think it is absolutely necessary that the German district heads in Bohemia and Moravia, who are the last guarantors of the German leadership of the protectorate in the middle of the new administrative reform, must remain in their place under all circumstances. It is impossible to exchange people. The officials who are now working have become involved and are familiar with their politically responsible circle of tasks to the very last. With these few men can probably renounce the military service, because they are really in the war operation. On the continuation of these few can hardly be avoided, that the German leadership is endangered.
