Copy of Rk. 33l5 D 2 BASSAE tt P # Order of the Führer to appoint an agent for business with the agent of the Great German Empire in Hungary. In March 1944, on the appointment of an agent of the Great German Empire in Hungary, I ordered that all of Hungary's aid sources, especially the economic possibilities, should be used to the maximum for the purposes of joint warfare. In order to carry out all the necessary measures, the representative of the Great German Empire in Hungary is attached to an agent for the economy. His tasks include in particular the regulation of the goods and clearing traffic with the Reich area and with the other states according to the requirements of the common war economy. The Commissioner for Economic Affairs is directly and personally under the authority of the Reich's authorized representative and is bound by his instructions in the political and general economic field. He receives his technical instructions directly from the Reichsressorts responsible for the German economy. Of these technical instructions, the authorized representative for the economy must inform the authorised representative of the Reich. The same applies to all other matters of his business area, which are important for the tasks of the authorised agent in Hungary, or which he has reserved for the decision.
