5a also returned immediately, but without comments and without requests. Since each name was written on, I was convinced that the matter would have been dealt with in detail by the Wehrmacht authorised officer and that the more detailed examination there itself did not give any supplementary or amendment requests. In doing so, I passed on the request for a copy: to the Under-State Secretary, to the Secretary of State and, finally, to Mr Reichsprotektor himself. I then drafted the decree to the Higher Land Council in Prague. It was drawn up by Mr Unter-States Secretary and then issued. In the course of a further 1 4 days, primator assistant Pfitzner, whom I had also informed about the progress of the matter, informed me that the Magistrate decided unanimously to carry out the procedure. Only in three or four cases would he have wished to speak. This right had been granted to the Magistrat himself in the decree. After that, Colonel Felser called me again and asked me whether there was still the possibility of filing the application - as he heard, the matter had already been decided by the Magistrate.- I drew the attention of the Colonel that the Elaborate had nevertheless been available to Mr Wehrmacht, but that applications or suggestions were not closed. As a result, Colonel Felser noted that the matter had somehow gone wrong with the Wehrmacht representative and that this was the reason why applications were not made. I also explained to him that as a speaker I am no longer in a position to make changes, since the Elaborate has long been drawn up, the decree issued and the Magistrate has already decided to implement it. On Donneratag, May 9th, the Higher Land Council of Prague, Freiherr von Watter, called me and informed me in essence: A call from the President of the State of Bienert would indicate that the Wehrmacht authorized officer at the State Authority had been requested to postpone the formal approval of the Magistrate's decision.Beenert wanted to know how he had to behave in such a case. As a result, I gave the Oberlandrat the order to inform the Land authority that there was no reason to withhold approval. tanA 58477
