English Translation

The main feature of the administrative reform was the sharp reduction of the German administrative apparatus in the Protectorate and the transfer of a large part of its tasks to the autonomous administration. Far from any department of egoism, Reinhard Heydrich then, precipitating the requirements of the reduction of persons in this winter, reduced the rich's administrative apparatus to the level of the indispensable necessary according to the idea of the autonomous self-governing of Bohemia and Moravia. The introduction of the duty of youth service for the Czech youth met a frequently expressed need of open-minded Czech circles, who with concern persecuted the danger of the nihilistic decline of their youth. Since Heydrich himself had once grown up under the natural laws of a healthy youth movement, he was particularly close to these questions. He realized that "Böhmen and Moravia can only keep pace in development if his youth also enjoys an education that does justice to the great political tasks of Bohemia and Moravia in the kingdom." It must be pointed out that Reinhard Heydrich, through the introduction of the duty of youth service of the Czech youth, gave one of the European equal educational possibilities and thus carried out an act of equality against the other peoples, to which the Czech Youth would not have been able on its own without the help of the Reich. This initiative for the benefit of the Czech people was the reason for the criminals in London to issue the last order for murder.
