The Deutsches Staatsministerium für Böhmen und Mähren (Německé státní ministerstvo pro Čechy a Moravu) under Karl Hermann Frank was created by a "Führer Decree" on 20th of August 1943. This was the official recognition of the power aspirations of Karl Hermann Frank since the death of Reinhard Heydrich in June 1942 to become the first man in the Protectorate administration. The Deutsches Staatsministerium für Böhmen und Mähren became the highest authority of the German occupation administration in the Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia and unified the functions of the Staatsekretär beim Reichsprotektor (Secretary of State at the Reich Protector) and of the Höhere SS- und Polizeiführer.
