The Reichspretektor in Böhnen and Moravian I 1 d 6120/466 g Prague, 16 June 1942 leaflet for the Reich officials and employees assigned to the Protectorate administration. Reichsofficials and employees seconded to the autonomous administration remain exclusively civil servants and employees of the Reichsverwaltung. They have always taken care to ensure that the foreign people's environment does not gain any influence on their thinking and actions and that they do not succumb to the formalism of the cumbersome protectorate apparatus. Czech staff members are always determined and correct to oppose, and any trustworthiness is to be avoided. The German officials and employees are obliged to use the German language everywhere and in every fur. and to demand their use towards themselves. Whoever is able to use Czech language may only use it in cases where a different understanding is not possible. The spatial and partial cooperation with Czech authorities also requires increased caution in the storage and transport of files and the greatest reluctance in the oral discussion of official matters. This extends not only to secret areas, but also to all other processes and discussions which are generally of a political and national nature. It is therefore necessary to ensure that the entire entrance of the district authorities /Reichsaufsauftragsverwaltung and autonomous administration / is monitored in such a way that processes of confidential chracter and such of special petitic importance, without the knowledge of members of bread-cells, can be separated and the processing can be carried out exclusively by d-eusche forces. These procedures must be kept separate from all other operations in the tank cabinet. These guidelines must be regularly communicated to the Reich officials and employees assigned to the autonomous administration and repeated from time to time. They must undertake to comply with them by signing them. In the event of violations of these guidelines, immediate disciplinary investigation is carried out. gez.K.H.Frank
