Prague, 14 November 1941 BdS III K.H. aa sle 4-Obersturmbannführer Dr. G i e s Prag 14. Subject: Introduction to the ground office. In the annex I present the list of men who come for participation in the introduction in Prague. These are the group and department heads and the heads of the districts. The convocation can be carried out by Mrs. N a d 1 e r. She already knows what to do in case of a call. For the introduction, I propose that the men should be notified of storm bans and that the group leader should then address a few words to us. It should be pointed out that the Commissioner for the Heiks is now taking effect and that in this context the personal union between II/2 and Land Office was required. The Land Office is a political institution and must in future work clearly according to the guidelines of the Reichskommissar. Land policy will be one of the most important factors of the future popular policy in this area. The management was therefore not set up with an agronomist or a lawyer, but with a folk politician.It would still be necessary for the Land Office to be directly subordinated to the group leader and to work according to his instructions. As guidelines for the work in the near future it would be necessary to specify: design of the soil policy with regard to the planned integration of this area into the Great German Reich, ground policy measures for the preparation of a large settlement, steering of land transport, land acquisition for settlement and exchange purposes, human selection for the settlement, land planning according to the planning of the Reichskommissar ind en 16/ocat-
