Subject: Presentation of Division Head VI to the Minister of State on 17.3.1944. Annex: 1 Overview. 4.) The Minister of the State was informed about the inadequate provision of railway wagons. Special difficulties arise in the transport of meat, seeds and fertilizers. 88 cars were not supplied last week of the need for 500 cars per week for meat transport. Meat supply is currently ensured by the introduction into Prague of cattle slaughtered at external slaughterhouses rather than live cattle. This means considerable savings in means of transport. This solution is likely to be possible only for the cooler time.
