106 The first legal standard issued in the territory of the Protectorate, which contained the Nuremberg racial criteria, was the decree of the Reich Protector on Jewish property of 21 June 1939 (284), which was published on the following day in Der Neue Tag and effective on that same day and which, as already mentioned above, became the basis for the seizure of Jewish assets without compensation. The scope of the Nazi Racial Laws in the territory of the Protectorate was further extended by the Decree of the Reich Ministry of the Interior of 5 July 1941 (285) to implement the Law on the Protection of German Blood and German Honor, according to which the condition of German nationality was not required, among other things, for the so-called "German Government." Jewish half-breeds of the first degree, i.e. also Jewish mixed-breathers of protectorate jurisdiction, were, after fulfilling other assumptions, considered Jews in the view of Nuremberg racial laws. Also for the territory of the Protectorate was the regulation of 16 February 1940 (286), supplementing the first implementing regulation for the law on blood protection, which further regulated marriages between Jews and Jewish spinal cords. Even after this extension, Nuremberg's racial protection laws applied only to such relationships of persons of different sexes, where at least one of them was a German national. Relations between protectorate members of each other were not affected by Nuremburg's laws so far. This changed by the Government Decree No. 85/1942 Coll. issuing further provisions on Jews and Jewish half-breeds from March 7, (287), which did not formally accept Nuremberg laws and their implementing regulations, but effectively adopted a substantial part of their content and copied in most of the provisions the Imperial Act on the Protection of German Blood and German Honor, as well as its implementing regulation. 136/1940 Sb., which ostracized Jews in public life (288), was a government regulation no. 85/1942 Coll. a brutal intervention in the personal and intimate sphere of life of Jewish inhabitants of the Protectorate and was without doubt the most immoral legal creation of the protectorate government. In Section 2, it prohibited the marriage between a Jew and a protectorate member who was not a Jew or a Jewish half-breed with two completely Jewish grandparents (the so-called half-born 1st degree). The marriage of the Jewish mixed-breather 1st step, or with a Protectorate who wasn't Jewish, could be authorised by the Minister of the Interior. The marriage concluded against the above bans was invalid,
