Berlin W 8, 13 July 1944. Wilhelmplag 8-9 Serrfprecher: 1100 14 The Reichsminister Geheim! für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda 15 JULY 1944 Dear party comrade Frank! The leader has only now been able to finalize the report I have received about the implementation of the Reichsinspektion in the Protectorate. The leader has fully approved the report, but has already made preliminary decisions on individual issues. I am delighted to be able to confirm to the leader a report which fully recognized the work you have done in the field of air war. I have also expressed your concerns in the report, and the Pührer has decided in detail as follows: 1.) The decree of 12 March 1944 of the Minister of Air Navigation, which provides for the early release of the workforce from the plants in the event of an air hazard, is not to be applied in general in the Protectorate because of its impact on the production of arms. Exceptions must be made in agreement with you on a case-by-case basis.
