The Reichsminister und Chef Berlin W8, 1 July 1943 of the Reichskanzlei VoBstraße 6 Rk. 7858 D To the Reichsguardor in Bohemia and Moravia with the management of the business entrusted to Mr. General Oberst D a l u e g e PragIV Subject: Under-Secretary of State of Burgsdorff. With regard to the fact that the further use of the Under-Secretary of State of Burgsdorff at the Reichsprotektor will not be possible, but Mr. von Burgsdorfff would lose his title "Under-State Secretary" when he left the service with the Reich Protector, the Reich Minister of the Interior has suggested that Herr von Burgdorff in any case be entitled to the designation "Under State Secretary" as a designation of office and without giving the previous restriction that he may only carry this designation for the duration of his office as Ministerial Director at the Imperial Protector and with the addition "a.D." even if he is excluded from his current position in the peace and quiet. I have responded to this suggestion in the assumption that you did not object to this, and that the Führer would not be able to accept it.
