S2 17 November 1942. State Secretary St.S. 480 c/42 g. Behaviour of German nationals towards autonomous authorities. Introduction: Without. Notes: 1 brief. c) To Mr. Gauleiter and Reichsstatthalter Eigruber, Linz. Very revered Gauleider ! 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, first of all, to encourage the German people working in leading and responsible positions to an exemplary halt. I would be grateful if you would also influence the political leaders under your authority, as well as the leaders and subordinates of the divisions and affiliated associations, who, for the most part, will be wearing uniforms.
