In turn, there was agreement that there must be a strong attempt to get such forces back in order to be able to carry out further war-decisive perditions in the Protectorate. This also applies in particular to those members of the protectorate, who had been assigned to the now bombed-out operations of the rest of the Reich. Maj-Gen Hernekamp noted that Reiehsminister Speer had agreed to return the members of the protectorate of bombed farms to Bohemia and Moravia, provided that the bombed-out company relocates Pertigungen here. Dr.Bertsch considers it urgently necessary to reach an agreement with Generalfeldmarschall Milch and Gauleiter Sauckel that the Reichsluftfahrtministerium refrains from transferring the approximately 5 ooo members of the birth year l924 to the rest of the Reich on the condition that the JCC covers the failure of these forces from the Protectorate with foreign workers from destroyed operations in the other Reichsgebiet. If these forces in the Protectorate, instead of being transferred to the rest of the Reich for a few months, can be set aside, their 'capture' should be considerably easier. Also, the contingent of the armor inspection for the current month, including the overhang, could be fully fulfilled. In the increasingly difficult labour market conditions in the Protectorate, the Minister of State considers it essential to strengthen the protectorate's employment offices by means of further German forces of higher service. Only in this way can it be ensured that the orders of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Labour and the German Head of Labour Office are actually carried out effectively. In this sense, Gauleiter Sauckel will again be approached, which has already been done. In addition, in the individual employment offices, representatives of Czech ethnicity will be gained, who will have to report on a regular basis the pill of bribery and damage to the German employment planning. The necessary funds would be available. This measure is to be carried out in agreement with the SD and is already under way. pi torgany i, e b 6h16vr$
