Fuehrer Decree Relating to the Chief of the party Chancellery of 29 May 1941

By order of May 12, 1941, I decree for the National Socialist German Labor Party that the hitherto existing office of Deputy Fuehrer should be designated from then on as Party Chancellery under my personal jurisdiction. In order to guarantee closest collaboration of the Party Chancellery with the Supreme Reich Authorities, I order in this connection:

The Chief of the Party Chancellery, Reich Leader Martin Bormann, has the powers of a Reich Minister; he is member of the Reich Government and the Ministerial Council for Reich Defense. Wherever in connection with laws, orders, decrees, ordinances, and other regulations the term "Deputy Fuehrer" is used, it will be replaced by "Chief of the Party Chancellery." The instructions necessary for the execution and supplementing of this decree will be given by the Reich Minister and Chief of the Reich Chancellery in agreement with the Chief of the Party Chancellery.
