28 10 S In the annex I add a suggestion about Tper using the Gßstehaus Sehlos Napajedl bed. May I then allow myself noeh the following question in the hope that it may be possible for him to take advantage of our fleet and petrol supply in the current situation 9. Due to the size and breadth of our plant, despite all the austerity measures, the use of our vehicle fleet and fuel supply has increased in such a way that the amount of fuel available to us is no longer sufficient. Since all my writings made in this connection have not been of lasting success, I am forced to take other measures, conversion to wood gas and propellant gas etc. However, these are also not entirely sufficient, since only part of the vehicles can be converted, and these works take a very long time. It now seems to me necessary to resort to horse-traffic. I have therefore contacted the Czech Military Department. However, there are certain difficulties, since it is strange that Article l5 of the Military Performance Act cannot be used for arms-i. I now have a little hope that you will be able to help tms aweh this time, as so often in the difficult times, and allow me to ask you if you are aware of a possibility of this kind. It is a carriage with two horsemen and one of the usual box vans. Horse owners are at my disposal under my staff. In addition, I try to get one or two of the coal-fired steam vans, as the city has, for our purposes until now without success. I allow myself to thank you in the name of the hospital and my wounded and patients for your efforts. :Wye Nu Heil Hitler hpehhnw il - Obersturmbannführer and Commander.
