hh - 22 - to the office of the Reichaprotector, which then meets on its own initiative the necessary measures. I now kowme to the Behßrdeneufbau. On the German side the office is the Reichsprotector with the rank of a supreme Reich authority. In the Aufbauverordnung of 1 September l939 the foundation of the unity of the administration was clearly expressed. Not only are all Reich ministries and supreme Reich authorities, with the exception of the Wehrmacht, combined with corresponding departments and groups in the Office of the Reich Protector, but it is also expressly stated that all obstacles, departments and organs of the Empire - with the exclusion of the German Wehrmight - are subject to the Reich's Protector. In the future, for example, administrative branches taken over from the protectorate to the rich's own administration will also be subject to the Reiahsprotector as the rich own authorities. For example, customs, the German Justia authorities and the three German universities, even if a professional influence of the Ber- liner responsible departments is possible and also expedient. In the field of police, a commander of the order police and a commander in charge of the security police under a higher SS and police leader is attached. Subordinate authorities are the Oberlandrats. The Protectorate of Bohemia and Mihren is divided into 1 5 Oberland Ratsbezirke, of which lo in Bohemia and 5 in Moravia were formed. In Brno there is also a special department of the Reichsprotektor with the task of bringing about a summary of the Moravian Oberlandrats and to provide them with the guidelines and instructions of the Imperial Protector. Also with the Upper Land Council the unity of the administration was carried out, however not quite as perfect as with the office of the imperial protector. After all, the Oberland- rat is responsible for all the activities carried out in the administration of the rich.
