English Translation

55 German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia. Before the Berlin meeting at the time, this question was discussed in detail in the internal circle in Prague. It was stated that in the case of the installation of the armament inspector in the German Ministry of State the arms inspector would have to take over the management of department V (economics). A department of the "Auxiliary Economy" and department V would be missing and would inevitably lead to factual and personal misrepresentations, unless one of the two departments were occupied by a colourless official. The integration of the Chairman of the Armaments Commission into the German Ministry of State as Head of Economic Affairs would have prevented the alarming collapse into the competence of the German Minister of State and into autonomy, which Dr.Krieser rightly feared. $p O
