17 November 1942. St.S. 480 b/42 g. Behaviour of German nationals towards autonomous authorities. Introduction: Without. Notes: 1 briefing. b) To Mr. Gauleiter and Reichsstatthalter Dr. Jury Wien. Dear jury ! I have seen myself forced to issue the enactment. The success or failure of the educational work to be carried out in Bohemia and Moravia will depend to a large extent on the fact that it is possible, above all, to induce the leading and responsible German comrades of the people to make an exemplary contribution. The civil servants and employees working in the public service are covered by my circular. I would be grateful if, in the same way, you would influence the political leaders under your authority, as well as the leaders and subordinates of the divisions and associations which, for the most part, have to be uniform wearers, particularly exemplary in this respect. I would also like to encourage you to take the lead points of my decree also within the framework of the resolution.
