4/0a 16 Dic administration in the Sudetenland administrative matters belonging to the Justitiar, a Personnel Office and an Audit Office. There are the following departments: I. for general, financial and economic affairs. II. for health care and physical exercises, III. for people's care, which includes in particular the Gaufürsorgungsverband and the Gaujugendamt, IV. For cultural and community care. An important provision on the state administration in the Reichsgau Sudetenland contains § 1 of the first implementing decree for the Sudetensgaugeset (from 10.6.1939, RGB1. I 997). The competent supreme Reich authorities can then, in agreement with the Reich Minister of the Interior, order that an Reichsstatthalter, a regional administration. a senior president or a government of a neighbouring administrative district performs certain administrative tasks in the area of the Reichsgaues Sudetenland, or that the heads of state and government of one and the same department are available for certain areas. This provision finds only a very distant analogue in the integration of the Ostmarkgaue, where only a merger of the special administrations directly subordinated to the Reichs Governors was envisaged and also took place, and this was limited to the East Moravian Reichsgaue formed from the former country of Austria. If we refrain from only temporary measures, this possibility was used only in some, but very important cases in the Reichsgau Sudetenland: The water construction administration at the navigable part of the Elbe and thus the water road office in Aussig is not under the Reich Governor of the Sudetensland, but the Saxon Ministry of Economic Affairs and Labour (Vo. v. 4. 11. 1938, RGBl. I 1562). It is not exactly the same if Sonderverwaltungen, which are not at all led by the Reichsstathalter, were integrated into a spreen whose leading authority has its Sity outside the Sudetenland. Thus the Reichbahnen in Sudettenland are under different Reichsbahndirektionen in the adjacent areas of the Altreichs. Furthermore, with regard to the structure of the Sudetenland River, which is 600 km long and only 20 km wide at the narrowest point, it was impossible to form a separate military circle and the division between the Wehrkreise IV (Dresden), VII (Breslau) and XIII (Nuremberg) was necessary, which means that even individual administrative organizations, e.g. In this context, it is important to note that, in the case of the United Kingdom, there is a need to ensure that there is an adequate level of cooperation between the two sides of industry in order to achieve the objectives of the common agricultural policy.
