English Translation

40 - 2 - As Reichaminister Dr.Lammers confirmed by letter of the 4th century - sign Rk. 2379 B, this basic sentence must also apply in relation to your ministry and Threm commissioner. Bie present political situation in the Protectorate requires more than ever that this be kept unreservedly. I therefore urgently have to ask to change your decree accordingly. I could only depart from this if you decided to consult the Autonomous Minister for Economic Affairs and Labour in Prague, Dr. Bertach, as chairman of the Arms Commission. Maj-Gen. Hernekamp, as permanent representative of Minister Bertsch, could be left in his capacity as chairperson of the Defence Commission. Such a regulation would not be without a model. In Reichsgau Sudetenland, the Gauwirtschaftsberater is the chairman of the Arms Commission; his representative is the Armaments Inspector; the previous two-trackness would be eliminated here by one stroke. If this is the case, the proposed Union of Personnel would be able to resolve the remaining difficulties, I would be grateful for your statement as soon as possible. HeilHitler! (*)
