28 Quszrig ausdim Fuibsrpratokoll rom 26.s 1944. II. 15. March 1944 - five years Protectorate. The Pührer agrees that this annual day in the Protectorate will be celebrated more or less ceremonially depending on the situation. The Reichsprotektor is to make a visit to the President of the State on 15. Mar 1944 as representative of the Führer and hand him a handcuff of the leader. The handwritten letter is to be written by the Minister of the Reich Dr.Lammers together with me and presented to the Führer in good time. If Hácha is no longer able to receive visits at this time, the protector of the Empire is only to have his card with the handwritten note of the Fuhrer at Hacha given. The matter would then only be used as a political act by the press. The Führer is ready if the situation permits the same day to receive Dr.Krejëf, the chairman of the government and minister responsible for Hácha's representation, in the presence of the German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia in the Leader's headquarters.
