The Bodenamt was originally a section of the Czech Ministry of Labour. It was founded under the decisive co-operation of the head of the security police and the SD and had the task in particular to ensure that the entire soil in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia under German influence and the entire land policy is influenced only by Germans, and thus to create the necessary basis for a victorious outcome of the popular struggle. In order to fulfil this task, the commander of the security police and the SD gave the Reichsguardor in Bohemia and Moravia the opportunity to transfer all the ground that can be grasped to the administration of the Bodenante. However, the Land Office was completely occupied by Czech officials. The state police thus encountered this institute with understandable mistrust, all the more so as the administration of the property taken over by the Land Office was rather costly and had to be regarded as a conscious reduction of the Reich's ability to collect. When the German influence was dominant in this office, the State Police has postponed all concerns about the management and handed over the agricultural holdings covered to the Land Office.
