2 Berlin W8, September 18, 1943 The Reichsminister und Chef Voßstraße 6 of the Reich Chancellery Rk. 10433 D. It is requested to indicate this business with further letters. To the Supreme Reich Authorities Subject: Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia. After the realignment of the position of the Reichsguardor in Bohemia and Moravia, the government business which covers the protection of the interests of the Empire in the Protectorate is the responsibility of the German Minister of State for Bohemia and the Moravian Republic - compare my statements of 29 August 1943 - Rk. 991l D -. Accordingly, legislation in the Protectorate, as far as it had been granted to the Reichsprotektor, has also been transferred to the German State Mini- ster for Bohemia and Moravia. In the sense of my circular from 24 July 1940 - Rk. 832l B II - is therefore to be involved in the legislative acts of the Reich in future also in the place of the Imperial Protector of the German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia in the manner described in this circular. In particular, in cases where the approval of the Reichsprotektor had to be explicitly emphasized in the introductory formula of regulations, the agreement with the German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia should be expressed in the future.
