Dept. of Justice Prague, 13 May 1943 II d Gen. f 1147 To the Ministerial Council Dr. G i e s in the House. Subject: First decree on the protection of the German Reich. - 1 Attachment- I am returning to the process of department I/2 which has been forwarded to me. I have no doubts about the factual content and the formulation of the draft. With regard to the publication of the decree, which has now been published, I merely recommend that the first two paragraphs of the letter to the Minister of the Interior be written as follows: "According to Section 1(2) of the First Decree on the Protection of the German Reich of 25 April 1943 (RGBl. I p. 271) The Minister of the Interior or the body designated by him may grant protection to the illegitimate child of a national or a national of the State upon revocation, the producer of which is not a German national. Since this provision will also apply to such illegible children whose producers are members of the protectorate, I hold it . . . . " etc. as before.
