88 The German Minister of State (p.d.) 16.0ktober 1943. St.M.101/43. To Mr. Reicheminister für Armor und Kriegsproduktion Professor Speer, Berlin. Very venerable Herr Reichsminister ! The result of the meeting with you on 8.10.d.dds. may I summarize here On the exercise of your responsibilities with the decree of the Führer about the consentation of the war economy of 2.9 d.de. In the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the German Minister of State for Bohemia and the Moravian Republic is switched in such a way that the registered correspondence of your ministry is conducted exclusively with the German State Ministry for Böhmen and Moravia but not directly with the Autonomous Ministry for Virtschaft and Labour in Prague. This will not result in a delay. In the delimitation of the powers of the Armaments Inspectorate in Prague, e.g. the Chairman of the Rülstungskommission für Böhmen und Mähren on the one hand, and the Autonomous Ministry for Economic Affairs and Labour on the other, there is no change in relation to the current situation.
