- 6 - Employees of the former republic of Slovakia and Carpathian Russia had at their disposal. Thus it was possible to obtain a gualitative high standing staff. On 1 December l939 the Directorate General had appointed 437 employees.In l940 this number will increase to 780. III. Planning of Czech motorways. The problem of the lines of the Czecho-Slovak West-East motorway was iit consider? The long-stretched structure of the former Czechoslovak Republic is relatively simple.As a long-distance connection, it would have to lead in the shortest west-east direction,with larger cities and more important economic areas that the Reich intended to develop an Reichsautobahn Berlin-Vienna, leading through Czechoslovakian territory from Berlin via Dresden, Theresien- stadt,Prague,Iglau and Zhain to Vienna. For this reason, the relics in Prague presupposed that the route of these Autobahi on the Czech-Slovak territories would form part of the Czechoslovak West-East motorway, which will branch off at Iglau to the areas of the other countries of the former republic to continue via Brno and Zlin to the east. (Figure l ) The motorway around the capital city of Prague was originally designed as a ring of about 60 km in length.
