I am grateful to you for the report of the head of the state police station Karlsbad of 25.8. about the conditions in aircraft plant Eger. In connection with this report, you may be interested in a letter sent to me by the Head of the Armaments Staff and Chief of the Technical Office to the Reichsminister für Armor und Ariegsproduktion, Head of Service Saur, on 27 September. This letter, which I am adding in writing, is based on a report in which I drew the attention of Minister Speer to events which, similar to the Eger process, cannot be easily understood and which seem to be contrary to the wish of the Minister of the Reich to increase production and to the continuity of the programmes. The report of the Peiter of the Karlovy Vary State Police Department, however, gives reason to have the Flugzeugwerk Eger checked by an audit committee within the meaning of the order of the Reichsmi- nister for Armor and Ariegsproduktion, in order to arrive at a new report to the Reich Ministry of Speer on the basis of the latest surveys either a deduction of insufficiently used labour or in the sense of Mr. Saur's letter. Copy of this letter I sent to the Teiter of the State Police Department in Karlovy Vary. 1 Annex. AoTT Hitler! MO M St.M. x 4-921/449b 1101/449
