yoa Reichskommissariat Ostland Description of the area subject to a permit. According to the unpublished First Decree of the Führer on the introduction of the civil administration in the occupied eastern areas of the 17th century. On 1 July 1941, the Reichskommissar für das Ostland in Riga, under the Reich's Minister for the Occupied Eastern Areas, issued a charter for civil administration in the territory of the former free states of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, as well as in the area inhabited by the Belarusians. The Reichskommissar für das Ostland is under the authority of the Reichscommissar for the East, following the unpublished decree of the Führer on the administration of the Occupied Eastern Territories of 17 July 1941. The Civil Administration in the Reich's Kommissariat Ostland comprises, according to the decrees of the Leader and Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht of 22 July, 20 August and 29 August. Other parts of the territory are gradually transferred to the civil administration with the end of the fighting from the operational area of the army. The territory of the Reichskommissariat Ostland, which has so far been placed under civil administration, is subject to a permit. The borders between the Reichskommissariat Ostland on the one hand and the German Reich (including the district of Bialystok) on the other hand are customs and foreign exchange borders, which, however, have the functions of police borders at the same time. The issuing of transit tickets takes place in Reichs-kommissiat Ostlands exclusively by the territorial (city) commissioners. 24393
