The head of the Land Office 336/42F/Dö. Büen des Star pics bein Reich in Uchmen v U Eing. 15.AUC 1942 l. V e r m e r k. On August I942, Count von Schmettov spoke to me and showed a letter from the 4 administrative and economic head office, in which he was assured that he could carry out his breeding experiments with grazing pigs and wild rabbits on W-owned farms. He explained to me that he spoke with the competent gentlemen about the administration of the #- troop training site Beneschau and also visited with them the possibilities of his plans on the troop exercise site in detail. According to this information, only a few communities of the western part of the troop training ground, in which there are also farms of about 4o-6o ha, could be considered to carry out his breeding. However, he explained to me that his plans could not be achieved with this, since the situation of these communities was too hilly and therefore Schwine could not have been bred. I explained to him that a supply of goods outside of the troop training ground would not be possible until the success of his attempts on the trooper training ground proved that the whole thing had a meaning. Then Count Schmettov explained to me that he did not even think about following attempts. He can only deal with the matter if he is given the opportunity to start the matter in the most generous way. When I talk about experiments, I do not seem to be aware of the considerable advantages of grazing pigs. He repeatedly pointed out the poor economic conditions of the terrain provided to him within the scope of the troop training ground. I explained to him that for grazing pigs it is indeterminately indecisive, which agricultural traditions of the questionable soil shows, that on the contrary, I am even on the point that good soil is too bad for these purposes.
