JULY 1942 In the middle of February this yearrriaf miöh Untaveraztatecretary of Burgsdorff to himself and opened up the following to me: The Herr Obergruppenführer intends to transfer to me first the inspection district Prague, but it is correct that after a transitional period of about 4 - 6 months - the inspection activity will probably not last longer - take over the first associate office at the capital Prague. I should let things go through my mind and tell him as soon as possible whether I am interested in this commitment. After a few days, I said to Herm Under-Secretary of State that after the implementation of the administrative reform, I consider the Upper Land Council as such to be superfluous and that this post could not be very satisfactory for me after a three and a half year's work as the Higher Land Council of Prague. I would therefore attach great importance to being seconded to the city of Prague as soon as possible, since I believe that such an operation is in the course of the current development, which cannot be stopped. The Under-Secretary of State then explained to me that I was planned for the first mayor's office in the capital city of Prague and that he had written down the order of Mr. Jj-Obergruppen leader Heydrich. One day before the attack on the Obergruppenführer, I was appointed Chief-General of Government Dr. Landmann confidentially informed that, in his lecture to the Obergruppenführer, he had again raised the future development of the city administration and the occupation of the senior posts. Obergruppenführer Heydrich had brought to Ausdruek that he wanted to speed up the appointment of the German mayor Mix to Prague and that, while ordering me to the city administration of Prague, ddd c should be employed by the central office for Bohemia and Moravia.
