THE CHAIRMAN OF THE ORDER POLICIES BüroidedSthalCretary AT THE REICHER PROTECTOR IN POINTS AND MAHERS Pellépvae14 Reichsptotektor einBphmgnud. - Ia Tgb.Nr. 12/4O (g) Telespeaker: 77355 Eing. 18. J AN. 1940 457 a Beinnigur Reference: Letter from the Wehrmacht authorised to write to the Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia - Abt. I c Az. I k No. 5l3/39 go. and 4504/39. To the Secretary of State 4 group leader F r a n k related process returned after personal presentation. The associations subordinated to me were repeatedly instructed - last with the proper application of the decree of the Lord Reich= protectors of 12.12.1939 - to intervene against hamster purchases of members of the order police. The allegations against the Berlin police regiment Sippel are valid to a certain extent, but in my opinion are probably mainly due to the misunderstood interpretation of the decree of the Reich Minister of Finance dated 3.1l.1939 (The Reich Protector in Bohemia and Mahren VI (Customs) - 3530/39). As a result of this decree, travellers in their luggage for self-consumption were allowed to carry food up to 1 0 kg of total weight when travelling to the Altreich (including Ostmark and Sudetengebiet). Furthermore, I must express my surprise that a letter addressed to the Reich Protector personally containing complaints about the order=police was not signed by General Friderici but by one of the lords of his staff. I would have thought it more correct if these complaints had been put forward first to me and then, if necessary, to the Reichsprotector. v. Kammy -1- Annex.
