208 CONCLUSION In the light of the above, in the case of Czechoslovakia, the law, as a system of state or occupation power of enforceable standards of conduct, has become an effective and irreplaceable instrument of Nazi expansion, especially with regard to its organizing function in the establishment of a state-directed war economy with compulsory contributions and forced labour, the categorization of the population of the Germans, inferior and serving Bohemia and totally unjust and the destruction of condemned Jews and Roma, and the subsequent Germanisation of people and space. All of this in the course of less than six years of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. The speed and efficiency with which it happened undoubtedly contributed to the fact that the Nazis basically took over the existing legal order of the Pomnich Republic and the implementation of selected imperial regulations along with the standardization of German and so-called. The autonomy of the authorities, according to the present need, was re-provoked into the instrument of their expansionist and racial policies. In this regard, it fully fulfilled its unfortunate purpose Hitler's decree of March 16, 1939 on the establishment of a protectorate, which was through its improvisation and chunkiness (or thanks to it) almost optimal normative grasp of the Nazi plans with the occupied country. Appropriately vague in order to leave room for any flexible solutions, and specific where it should have been clear from the outset that no other alternative to Nazi order existed. The Protectorate, according to the decree, was "autonomous and self-management," on the other hand, could have been scattered at any time. To the opposition of the protector, it was necessary to "retreat from the declared laws, regulations and other legislation, but also from administrative measures and legal judgments." The law has remained effective until now, however, unless it contradicted the "sense of taking over the protection of the German Empire" which, if required by "common interest," could itself issue "laws with effect from the Protectorate."
