1La establishment plan for the police and polit. department of the Oberlandrat- amtes M.-Ostrau only one clerk was named as sufficient. It was completely disregarded that in the Oberlandrat district of M.Ostrau, which had been a border circle from the rich up to the last time, and it is still - from a people's point of view - still today, there is such a great deal of work to be done in police and political terms that it was a great risk to leave the police administration autonomous and not to take over it in the rich's own direction, which would have been the best solution - especially from the point of focus of decentralisation.

I have also made the above mentioned vis-à-vis the early Oberlandrat in M.-Ostrau and current personnel officers at the Reichsprotektorxx, Landrat Dr. P i e s b e r g e n . I consider it expedient and self-evident that for the processing of the very sensitive political and police matters here, if available, sudetenGerman forces are used. . 2./ On behalf of the Oberlandrat v.Rumohr, on the Thursday, September 7th, I had the subscription of the members of the Polish Consulate from M.-Ostrau to Vienna, but only within 56995
