English Translation

- 2 - According to the wording of the decree of the Führer of 27.9.1941 (RGBl. I p. 591), //- Obergruppenführer Heydrich "for the duration of the illness of the Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia, Reich Minister Freiherr von Neurath, was commissioned with the representational management of the affairs of the Imperial Protector". So it was not the creation of the permanent institution of a representative Reichsprotektor next to the Reichsprotector, but a personal commission to //-Obergruppenführer Heydrich, who died with his demise. The fact that //-Oberst-Grupfenführer Daluege - having initially only managed the business of the deputy Reichsprotektor - now remained in office with the will of the Führer, can only be interpreted as having been given a similar personal order to defend the sick Reichsprotector. The state-legal practice of the following period confirms this assumption. //-Oberst- Gruppenführer Daluege has constantly drawn the head "The Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia commissioned with the management of the business" since the demise of his predecessor and thus served as the new Deputy Reich Protector. A management of the business for the fallen //-upper group leader Heydrich would also be conceptually excluded. hrimpEO
