Walter Bertsch to ok a great share in integrating the Protectorate's economy into the system of planned economy, mobilizing their resources and establishing organizational form based on the German model.

This led to the removal of the double-Ieading at the top of the Protectorate's economy governing. Bertsch, a prominent figure of economy, regarded the potentiality of the Protectorate's economy with austerity. He knew where the performance limits of economy lay in. Accordingly he strove for lowering over-exposed requirements which came from Reich. As far as germanization of the Protectorate's economy is concerned, Bertsch's measures were part of a wider line that lay in the intensifying of German ethnic and German influence over the Protectorate. In terms of the orders of appointing German trustees into favoured companies, Bertsch became a member of a number of supervisory boards of significant Protectorate's companies, such as Škoda Works in Pilsen or Bata Company in Zlín. The management of these companies expected from his appointment facilitation of communication with Protectorate and Reich institutions. In Berlin they were probably very satisfied with his work...

Čižinský, Jan ; Kubů, Eduard (advisor) ; Šouša, Jiří (referee)
Slovo nostrifikace pochází z latiny. Noster znamená náš a facere je latinský výraz pro sloveso činit, dělat, uskutečňovat. Přeložíme-li tento pojem, dostaneme sousloví s významem "činit naším", "uznat za naše" nebo "přivlastnit si" . S termínem nostrifikace se setkáváme většinou v souvislosti s uznáváním zahraničních studií, vysvědčení a diplomů. Při studiu Rumunska, Polska a hospodářského vývoje Jugoslávie po první Československa, světové válce nacházíme další význam výrazu nostrifikace, který shrnuj e Slovník veřejného práva československého následovně: "Nazýváme tak svéráznou hospodářskou a právní akci, prováděnou v důsledku poli tického odloučení Československé republiky od bývalého Rakousko-Uherska, jejímž účelem bylo převésti do tuzemska sídla a hospodářská vedení společností akciových a s ručením omezeným pokud měly provozovny cele nebo částečně v nynější Československé republice, svá sídla však (a hospodářská vedení) v území bývalé monarchie, jež se dnem 28. X. 1918 stalo pro nás cizinou. ,,
