By decree of 15.3.194o - I - 1 a 8192, the Oberlandrats were ordered to report to the Reichsprotektor and directly to the Minister of the Interior via telex or telex. This decree only concerned the reporting of events of a non-political nature (so-called "disaster report" based on the decree of the Reich Minister of the Imner of 23 February 1939). All reports on events of political police nature were reserved for the security police. To this end, I refer to my letter of 2 February 194o - B.d.S. - I - 3539/40 - . If the supplementary decree of 16 May 1942, in which I was not involved, prescribes the notification of "every important event", this means an extension of the obligation to report, which I cannot accept without contradiction, since this has pushed the Upper Land Councils more or less into the state police sector. If further the decree of 29 June 1942 refers to the reimbursement of event reports as the task of the Oberlandrats as inspectors, this is completely missing.
