10 Group Nutrition, Des S.aa.sjekttärs II/2-3817-38/42 ben Reichspeotektor Prag, den V. 19422 in Böhmen und mähren. Eing.: 12.MA11942 1 1. V.42 Lg 11 About the Head of Division II to the Secretary of State in the H a u s e . Subject: Butter on sections of the holiday cards. VII A - 5/42 - The Reichskarten for holidaymakers, which were replaced on 6 April 1942 by new Reichscardten for vacationers, did not have any sections on eutter, but only cuts on fat. In the Protectorate the sections on fat are supplied only with artificial food fat, since the supply of butter is so small that the sections of the holiday-makers-cards cannot be supplied with butter. For example, the previous holiday card for 1 week contained 270 g cuts on fat, which corresponds to the weekly ration of 8 consumers of the protectorate in butter. Therefore, when I agreed to the validity of the holiday cards in the restaurants, canteens, etc. of the Protectoret, I gave the order that the fat sections of the vacationer cards only with margarine. to supply only with dishes prepared from margarine. Since the urleuber card is only given eus for the duration of the feise to the holiday place - those left in the protectorate for the deuters of the stay cards of the protectorates - were not damaged by this instruction the defense members. I also considered it expedient to give this instruction, since otherwise the military personnel working in the piotectorate who feed themselves, who often meet with those on leave in restaurants, etc., would also have asked them to give the Reich butterration in the form of the holiday card Made iafl hr. Since the holidaymakers' maps of the Reich, valid from 6 April, have sections on butter and margarine, i.e. no more ay ng alone on fat, from then on butter will also be available for the new holidaymakers cards. of the protectorate may be valid, since the stock situation in the retail stores does not allow butter to be used for holidaymakers' cards.
