Group I-Bfo To the Department I Subject: Extension of the activities of the People's League of German War= graver welfare to the Protectorate of Bohemia and Mähren. Procedure : Letter dated December B942 The draft letter proposed cannot be signed by the representative for organizations because the manager Pg. N e u b u r g known that at present there are negotiations between the party chancellery and the OKW, for the purpose of basic regulation of the whole Prague with the aim of decommissioning the activity of the "Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberförsorgung e.V." in the whole Reich. Before submitting a communication to the office in Leitme= ritz, I propose to wait for the result of the negotiations mentioned above=.Leitmeritz's cited letters from the government presidents of the Sudetengaues were put out of force by the Reichsstatthalter. Despite repeated requests from the highest authority of the Gaues Sude= tenland, the office does not comply with the existing ban on collection and advertising, thereby creating difficulties and work for the managing bodies, so that the request for extension of its activity to the Protectorate cannot be supported from here.
