As a result of this delay, however, it was found that President Ruckwied's refusal of this project was enforced for reasons of lack of work. At about the same time, preparatory work for semi-terrestrial F-works was started.On the proposal of the German State=Ministry, in cooperation with the Biro Nissen, it was suggested to convert a large quarry at Karlstein Castle into a bomb-proof production=space. In addition, Avia was awarded a number of railway tunnels in the area of Deutschbrod - Tischnowitz - Brno for manufacturing purposes. However, these tunnels had to be removed from Avia again, they were needed for more urgent perditions, the negotiations on the construction of the F-works and the extension of the quarry were long drawn, without leading to decisions. At the end of July 1944, Dr Wegener from the Jägerstab ine Pro= teltorat, who travelled to the country without the participation of experts, was still planning a project for the Avia. Dr Weingener then suggested in Berlin that one should drift from the above-mentioned quarry (America or Morschin) from Stollen and put Avia into it. The new leader of Avia, Procurator Holzner, sat down on 14.8.1944 with this demand with Mr Nenselmann from the Nissen office, who was looking for me on 17.8.1994. On 18.8.1944 I was able to submit my report at a meeting Henselmann - Holzner - Nissen - Martini, which clearly demonstrated the unpredictability of this proposal, At the same time I made the proposal to build instead a tunnel building near Bakov a/Jser.
