Subject matter with further writing. To the Minister of the Reich and head of the Chancellery Betr.: Identification of the Jews in the Protectorate. On the question of the identification of the Jews, the Lord Reichsmarschall announced in the Gauleiter Meeting of 6 December 1938 under communication of the reasons e p negative decision of the leader of the question in the previous year, I may refer to my letter of 24 July 1940 - I 1401 VII/VIII/40g- 50l2-. This decision was taken by the leader for the former Reichsgebiet. In the meantime, there has been a complete change in the political situation. In view of the clarification of the foreign policy fronts, subject to the opinion of the Foreign Minister's Office, which you probably requested, it is no longer necessary to take foreign policy into account. In particular, there are completely different conditions in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia than in the Old Kingdom. It seems to me, too, that the identification of Jews has been carried out since the end of the Polish campaign in the General Government and in small parts of the integrated eastern regions.
