English Translation

h/ therefore in the case of free accommodation and meals a total of 74,-- RM with the married person and 69,- Rm with the single person. It should be noted that the above-mentioned total remuneration represents the already granted compensation rate. For the rest, the OKW and the Hauptamt Ord=nungspolizei have agreed to the regulation provided for by the State Ministry, without wanting to derive any appeals for the teams in the first and second year of service in the Reich. The reservation of the Reich Minister and Chief of the Imperial Chancellery and the Reich Ministry of Finance has thus become meaningless. 6.Leutnante und Oberleutnante. The lieutenants and lieutenants of the government force and the uniformed protectorate police received already now without increasing their remuneration in the final salary more than the lieutenant and lieutenant of the Reich. Therefore these - though excessive - remunerations have been taken over in the plan of the state ministry. It was clear that these references have only theoretical significance, since no lieutenant or lieutenant remains in this rank for 24 years of service. However, even theoretic reductions in the current remuneration should be avoided. The Reichsfinanzministerium admitted that these references have only theoretical significance, but nevertheless believed that they could not accept them and demanded that the final stage of the references of the lieutenant and the lieutenant be completed. This wish of the Reichs Finance Ministry was met by agreement with the WB and the BdO. The matter is thus settled. 7. Procedure. The Reichsfinanzministerium (Ministry of Finance) complains that it was not informed until August 1943 about the plan of the State Ministry for the new regulation of the salary. It seems that there were already documents here which could have been made accessible to the Reich= resssorts. This view does not apply.
