h Copy. Prague, 13 October 1939. No.594/39 Dear Mr. Lammers! With your letter of 9 October the year before - Rk 26272 B - I received the decree of the Führer on 7 October for the consolidation of German ethnicity. The Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia is not explicitly mentioned. With regard to the special circumstances here and in view of the decisive influence this decree would have on the leadership of politics in the Proteltorat area, I would ask for a clarification as to whether, for example, the powers given therein to the Reichsführer SS also apply to the Protectorate area. If there are any doubts, I ask the Führer to make the decision. With the best greeting Heil Hitler ! gez. Frhr. v. Neurath. To the Reichsminister and head of the Reich Chancellery Herrn Dr. L a m m e r s in Berlin. Wy. $d√ 1.9312.40. Tv A 3
