A further change was made after 8 April 1940 to Reichskommissar für die Saarpfalz; finally, after 11 March 1941, he was made Reichsstatthalter in der "Westmark" (the region's new name, meaning "Western March or Border").
Daljnja promjena je napravljena 8. travnja 1940. u Reichskommissar für die Saarpfalz, te napokon 11. ožujka 1941. u Reichsstatthalter in der "Westmark" ( novo ime regije, što znači "Zapadna Marka ili granica").
