English Translation

Ma The Frege, which persons possess the protectorate membership, is to be answered exclusively according to the provisions of the decree of the Regierung of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia of 11 January 1940 (sdGuY. Nr.19) approved by the Reichsprotector, which correspond with the explanations by circular of the Reicheninister of the Interior of 7 June 1940 - I e 5088/40 - 5000 BM - (RiBliv. 1940 No. 24 ) is also published in the Old Kingdom. I am entitled to include this circular in addition to the government decree of 11 January 1940 as an annex. The legal opinion of the #ehrmightrechtsabteilun of 20 August 1940 leaves this government decree unconsidered and thus comes to conclusions, which I do not negate in all points. I believe that the following main cases should be dealt with in particular: a) The view of the Wehrachtrechtsabteilung that formerly Czech-Slovak nationals who had already been before 16. In 1939, Mr Mürz left the Czecho-Jlovakia, who had not easily acquired protectorate membership, had only become members of the Protectorate if they had expressed their will to do so in any form, and F was in the single court with the above-mentioned government decree. On the contrary, every former Techecho-Slovake has become a Pretek- torat member, who had his residence, the right of residence or the right to determine Heinat's jurisdiction in a geneinde of the territory of the Protectorate on 16 Kärz 1939. Only those persons who gave up their residence in the Protectorate before the 16th of War in 1939 and who, before 18 January 1940, the date of entry into force of the Government Decree, acquired an additional nationality (e.g. an enemy), did not become Progsktorat members.
