English Translation

- 2 - 5e police in the Old Reich founded and the there organization taken as a basis. Vöklig with wrong. When the power was taken over, the National Socialism did not find a uniform Reich administration, but by each other largely independent and in the Reichssspitze only loosely grouped state administrations, which were differently organized and led the administration differently. All the same, it was also in the area of the police organization and the police right. The entire police of the empire did not at that time depend on a strip, but was led on a national basis and a formal procedure was necessary in order to let the police even enter into action in the countries or countries. When the Reichsführer SS was appointed chief of the German police, it had to be his first concern to organize the police in such a way that an order from the top immediately goes through to the last executive body and that he did not have to conduct various negotiations with the individual state administrations and obtain their approval. To this end, he had to bring the police out of the state administrations and form a single Reich organization. At the same time, this step offered him the certainly desired opportunity to subject the people working in the police department to his immediate personal influence in relation to their education and formation and thus to create a new type of official different from the previous administrative officer, as he wished. The police were thus in no way an end in itself, but a means to the very end which has already been achieved in a uniform organization of the entire administration, as already existing in the Pro- tectorate de jure and de facto. At the head of this administration is the government, represented by the Prime Minister under whom the individual ministers of the department are under. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of War can be excluded because of their special tasks. The Ministry for Finance and Justice have a special position of the other ministries due to their special duties. All the other ministries have in the central authority - the former state administration and today's state administration - the corresponding departments and the sections of these ministries the corresponding divisions. As the government through the Prime Minister, the state authority is represented by the state president. In the first instance, according to the ministries in the upper and the main departments in the intermediate level, units exist. The district authority is again represented by the district head.
