PS-2848: Letters of LAMMERS TO STUCKART Sept 1939
Letter dated 3 June 1942 from STUCKART to SCHWERIN KROSIGK concerning the authority of the ministerial Council for Reich Defense (Ministerrat fuer die Reichsverteidigung) to pass certain decrees and a letter dated 23 January 1940 from to Goering suggesting topics to be discussed at a proposed meeting of the ministerial Council for Reich Defense.
cil of Ministers for the Reich Defense can only issue ordinances concerning war measures. In agreement with the Chairman of the Council of Ministers for the Reich Defense I want to point out that this opinion is incorrect. In accordance with the order of Fuehrer concerning the formation of a Council of Ministers for the Reich Defense of 30 august 1939, the Council of ministers has authority to issue ordinances equal to a law with the sole restriction that the Fuehrer commanded the passing of such a law to be effected through the Reich Government or the Reichstag . . ."
