80 The problem with Oberlandratů in assessing the demands of Germanism was that there were no clear boundaries between the Czech, German or Jewish community among the inhabitants of the Protectorate and, on the contrary, these cultures and languages were mixed and ethnic identity had its historical roots. Since the beginning of 1941 when he established a branch of the Main Office for Racial Affairs and Settlements (SS-Rasse- und Siedlungshauptamt - RuSHA) in Prague, his "race reviewers" sought to bring the agenda of racial assessment, who is or is not a German, to fall under their office, because the criteria of Oberlandrats seemed too mild to them and did not respond to the race classifications of RuS I to IVf, where Rus I meant "advisable" to the population growth, II. "bearable" , III "yet bearable" IV. "non-bearing" and IVf "cizoradic blood component" . From autumn 1941 RuSHA and Heydrich decided on this classification in March 1942 ordered RuSha to further review the already made decisions on "German national jurisdiction." (185) In addition to the main dividing and untranslatable legal line between the Germans and the other inhabitants, there existed in the Protectorate as well as in the actual and distinct caste between Germans themselves, when the Reichs Germans viewed the other Germans in the protectorate (also referred to as "protectorate Germans," "local Germans", "ethnic Germans " (Volksdeutsche), "Bömáci" and "new Germans") with a certain superiority or even respect, as in case of Germans from Sudeten, as a reservation of provincialism and maliquency, which was given to the disappointment of the Sudet Germans, since they found themselves in 1938 in connection with the connection of the Sudet to the empire in the forefront of events, after the occupation of the rest of the Czech-Slovakia ruled only one of many parts of the Empire. This was the reason why, in connection with the efforts of the Nazis to make the Protectorate's administration more efficient in 1942, its abolition and division among neighbouring county had numerous supporters in the Sudeten region. The plight of the protectorate Germans against their empire comrades was constantly growing, especially because the Reichs Germans managed to occupy the most influential and lucrative places in the Protectors. Officials, soldiers, police officers and merchants considered the place in the Protectorate to be a prize: far from the front their lives were not in jeopardy. (186) The Reich Germans also occupied the highest positions in education, which was before the occupation of the Sudetonian politics and areas charged with emotion. In 1940 the Reichs Germans were leaders of more than half of the German Cathedrals.
