THE MINISTER FOR SCHULWESEN AND MINISTERS FOR VOLKSAUCHKLARUNG Prague, 4 September 1944. Ministry Bngu: 6 SEP. 1944 To the German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia SS-Obergruppenführer K.H. Fr a n k Prag IV. Czernin-Palais. Dear Minister of state ! With decree of the Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Mären of 2.7.1943 No.I/1 b - Z.Pers.I. Both the President of the Board of Trustees for Youth Education in Bohemia and Moravia and the General Officer - each in his area of responsibility - was appointed as my undeniable representative. This division of responsibilities led to a certain degree of complexity, which had an adverse effect on the work of the Board of Trustees, insofar as the administration did not always have the necessary understanding of the needs of the works of education. Moreover, it seems appropriate to make the General Officers a little more responsible for the work as a whole of the board of trustees. I therefore intend to place the general officer as my total representative in the Board of Trustees for Youth Education at one level with the other working group leaders, which in itself corresponds to the establishment of the other autonomous central authorities. I ask, Minister of State, to give this my proposal your approval so that it can be carried out by me. Heil Hitler ! Kane St.M. πB -641/43
