4-10 The administration in the Sudetenland 15 Implementing Decree of 17 July 1939 (RGBI. I 1271), which stipulates that the authority of the Reich authority for the sector "statutory administration" is set up in four departments, i.e. I. for general internal and cultural affairs, II. for economy, agriculture and labour, III. for settlement, conversion and water management, IV. for construction, to which the inspector of the police of order and the inspector for the security police join. In the sector "self-administration" there are also 4 departments: I. for general and cultural administrative matters, II. for health and physical exercises, III. for public welfare, youth welfare and youth care, IV. for finance and economic affairs. In comparison with the regulations in the Ostmarkgauen it is striking that the sector 'state administration' and the sector "self-administration" in the authority of the Reichsstatthalter are organizationally separate, which favours an independent self-government in the level of the "Reichsgaues". The difference between the East Markgauen and the Eastmarkgauen is partly explained by the relative smallness of the letters, but mainly by the fact that the authority of the Reichsstatt-halter in the Gau Sudetenland had to be completely rebuilt, while the authorities of the imperial governors in the East Marchgauen emerged from the authorities in the former countries of the Austrian federal state, the state main teams, which in turn already largely united state administration and self-government. Apart from that, the structure of the authority is not quite the same: the differences in the structure between the administration of the Reichsstatthalter are partly due to the lack of the middle level of the regional districts and the government presidents in the East Markgauen. As a result, the Oberversicherungsamten in the Ostmarkgauen are affiliated to the authorities of Reichsstatthaltern and include a division for education, education, culture and community care, while a department for education and education in the Su-detengau appears in the authorities in the government presidents. These are divided into three departments, namely: I. For general and internal matters, II. for education and popular education, III. for economy, to which comes also a government fund and a government insurance office. Implementing regulation on the Sudetengaugeset with regard to the structure is not intended as a rigid norm, as is apparent from the actual structure of the authority of the Reichsbankler in the sector Gauselfverwaltung. After that there is a special business area of the Gauhauptmann, to which the personal consultant, the law firm of the Gaulhauptman, which also the central 2 2305
