State Minister for Bohemia and Moravia On 20 August 1943, at the eve of Wilhelm Frick's appointment, the State Ministry for Bohemia and Moravia was created within the Hitler cabinet, which assumed many powers of the Prime Minister and of the Reich Protector. SS-Obergruppenführer Karl Hermann Frank, Higher SS and Police Leader (Höherer SS-und Polizeiführer, HSSPF, HSS-PF, HSSuPF) in Bohemia and Moravia and the former Secretary of State in the Office of Reich Protector since 1939, was the only State Minister (with the title Staatsminister im Range eines Reichsministers) for Bohemia and Moravia, reducing the formerly important position of Reich Protector to a ceremonial role.
