THE PRACTICAL PROTECTOR Prague, 20 March 1943 in Bohemia and Moravia No. Z: HB/43 To the main departments and departments Message: To the adjutation of the Deputy Reichsprotektor the office of the Secretary of State the office. of the Inspector General of the Administration Subject: Use of passenger cars. The disproportionately high fuel consumption of the authority gives me once again the most emphatically to my attention.Legislation of 14 February 1942 - III-2 P 65/42 and of 7 October 1942 - Z: HB/42. For the many city trips, which are now in the fourth year of the war still carried out by means of motor vehicles, I have no understanding. A large part of these journeys must be avoided, as public transport is sufficiently available, and I make it compulsory for every member of the public authorities to check whether the intended purpose cannot be achieved without the use of a motor vehicle before a motor car is required. The right to request a service car is reserved only to the heads of the main departments and departments for the members of their subordinates. A driving order must be issued from 1 April 1943 on each journey by means of a motor vehicle. The issuing of driving orders shall be carried out for wagons of driving readiness by the driving service and for the assigned wagons by the driver. At the end of the journey the use of the wagon shall bear the purpose of the ride on the side of the driving command.
