Most occupied places had some Polish administration, often ad hoc, created after the evacuation of official personnel. Those would be quickly dissolved by the Germans, and the temporary control over those territories was given to (
Korück). Civilian officials (
Landrat) were quickly assigned to governance of Polish
powiats or groups thereof; in Western cities and villages Germans were appointed as mayors and
vogts, in the central and eastern ones Polish ones were accepted.
Adolf Hitler issued first directions on the occupation administration on 8 September. Thus the entirety of occupied Poland was divided into four military districts (West Prussia, Posen, Lodz, and Krakau). Frank was at the same time appointed "supreme chief administrator" for all occupied territories. ==Transition==
