-12- exclusively to the Minister of the Interior. At the same time, it is conceivable that the minister of the interior gives the General Commander a corresponding authorization. If the commander of the Order Police wishes to make use of the rights of use which he is without doubt entitled to, then he may not give the order to the General Commandant, but he must give it to the minister in the interior. Neither the Minister of the Interior nor the General Commander may pass such an order on to the Inspector, but only to the President of the State, and this, in turn, may, if he does not wish to make orders to the Gendarmerie Land Commander himself - to the inspector by no means to take them - not to give such orders to either the Gen Darmerie District Commander or to the Commander of the Uniform Protectorate Police, but exclusively to the District Chief or Police Director. The district captain or police director then gives the order to the gendarmerie or police. How this use is then technically carried out is matter of officers. They carry responsibility from the moment on and have to report the execution. But if general commander and inspector want to give instructions for use, then they have to give up their position and become organs of the ministry of the interior and of the president of the state. But then again they would have to renounce their command and inspection powers. Both at the same time must lead to an incalculable confusion. It goes so far as to say that the Czech commanders of the police can only very reluctantly be issued by the German police director with reference to the inspector, if they do not even refuse to obey, while even in the rest of the Reich the police director is entitled to even criminal law powers to the commander of the protective police. In the case of the non-uniformed protectorate police, only the form of the Reich commission administration, which has proved to be extremely effective in all other fields, would be to be chosen. The leading authorities are also occupied with Germans in the Protectorate police and gendarmerie. Where this is not the case, the heads of the individual hospitals could be deployed. The heads of the CRI offices are acting as organs of the non-uniform protectorate police. Each relevant police department is joined by a special department - Reichsauftragsverwaltung - where the matters reserved for the German criminal police are dealt with, and those which cannot be dealt with in the interests of internal security or the Reich defense of Czechs. The BdS gives its orders to the Minister of the Interior, Section Non-Uniformed Protectorate Police, these to the President of the State, Department Police, Department Non-uniformed Protectorates Police. These in turn to the individual police directors and district heads. Through this simple circuit, the complete continuation and execution of a command with the smallest possible apparatus
