English Translation

14a 4 Betr.: 2. Execution provision for the 8th order of the GB-Construction with regard to emergency measures in the event of damage to bombs and fires; here: reconstruction of destroyed production sites. l943 the Minister for Armament and Ammunition has determined that the final decision as to whether a reconstruction of the manufacturing sites of the arms industry, totally or largely destroyed by enemy action, will be taken by him directly together with the relevant main committee or ring. In addition, the Reichsminister für Bewaffen und Ammunition (Minister for Armament and Ammunization), in a supplementary communication to the needy, pointed out that, at the same time as their understanding of reconstruction, the needies took on the obligation to take over the construction projects on their construction volume and to provide the required building materials quotas. For the damage cases to be dealt with under this special regulation, a decision by the Commission set up under the second implementing provision for the l8th Injunction will therefore be omitted in the future. For all other damage cases, as far as they have been dealt with in accordance with the second implementation provision, the previous provision will remain. However, I intend to consolidate and uniformly regulate the provisions on the removal of bombs and fire damage to the buildings and installations of commercial and industrial enterprises in a new implementation provision for the l8th arrangement, which will soon be expected to replace the previous 2nd implementation provision on the l8. arrangement. 9761 Commissioned by Steffens
