No. 3. 1944 Reference: Pernoral consultation of today with the head of the ministry. Maj-Gen Hernekamp called me today and told me that General of the Artillery Dr.h.c. He asked me whether the German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia was concerned about the establishment of an armaments command for the Protectorate. As President Dr. Adolf explained to me on a telephonic inquiry, as an armaments officer with his district officials, he can fully fulfil the tasks that should be reserved for the Armaments Command and only welcomes it if an Armament Command is not established. Major General Hernekamp, who still wanted to be informed today, gave me word orally that the German Minister of State did not have any doubts about the plan of the head of the Armaments Office in the Reichsministerium Speer. On this occasion, Major General Herrnekamp informed me that he would first remain in Prague to deal with the business of the Prague inspection. In the opinion of General Dr.h.c. Waeger, this settlement is expected to take about until 15 January 1 945. M.E. this would be a task for Colonel Schlichting or Major Dr. Wolff and should be able to be done much more quickly. M ME
