103-1- 16 V e r wa lt un g s r e f o r m . =EEEE3 On the basis of the Führer's decree of 7 May 1942, the immediate administrative tasks of the Oberlandrats were transferred to the Protectorate authorities for fulfilment on behalf of the Reich by regulation and implementing decree of 23 May 1942. The "Landespräsidenten - Reichsbeauftragsverwaltung" in Bohemia and Moravia now correspond to the higher administrative authorities in the rest of the Reich (Government President - Reich Governor), the "Bezirkshauptmänner - ReichseauftvertragsVerwaltungsverwalter" the lower administrative authorities. Reichsauftragsverwaltungen have also been established in the cities with their own statute and in police matters with protectorate police authorities. Some tasks have been carried out for security police reasons (passports and visas) or, because their fulfilment is expedient to a larger area (occupations of the war food industry, the German health office, etc.), in each case a "district captain - Reichsauftragsverwaltung". In this respect, he conducts business in the administrative area of several district authorities, without being intermediate. 72 political authorities exist in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Of these, 5 are cities with their own statute under German management. 18 district authorities are today Czech, 49 are German-led. Of these, 15 carry out the activities of the executive "district authorities - Reichsbeauftragsverwaltung". With the Czech-led district authorities, the management of the Reichsvergabevergaben is in the hands of a German inspector or superinspector. At the same time, he has the task of monitoring the autonomous part of the authority and using it to promote German interests without taking responsibility for it. The purpose of this administrative reform is to free the Reich services from purely administrative activity, to work with the existing Czech apparatus and yet to monitor and control it sufficiently with economical installation of German forces.
