Mr. Ministerial Councillor Dr.Giess, e Betr.: Cigarette allocation for special purposes in the Schazgebiet. From Mr. Chief Finance President I receive monthly l5.ooo cigarettes and from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry monthly 80 kg confectionery for distribution to Czech workers damaged by bombs in the rest of the Reich. On account of the fact that cigarettes are made available to me for special purposes in the ski jumping field, I have temporarily taken l4.ooo pieces of cigarettes and 15 kg of sweets from the quota made available for the Reich after consultation with SS Staf. Fiecher. The cigarettes and sweets were delivered in the majority to caregivers in the ski jumping operation, occasionally distributed also to particularly good ski jumpers or to those, which have excelled in special missions (delete of damage fire, life rescue etc. ), free of charge. The payment of the cigarettes was made from an amount, which is made available to me by SS-Staf. Fischer. In view of the fact that in the ski area there are a total of 700 employees, who should initially receive a ski jumping allowance up to RM 4.-, but because of the later regulation, get mur RM 2.- ski jumping money and which I therefore have to compensate in other ways, I ask myself to authorize that I may take from the cigarettes made available to me by the Chief Finance President for Reich purposes monthly up to 7oo* pieces, as well as from the confectionery up to 20 kg per month. I note that, because of the current difficult transport conditions, not so many cigarettes and sweets are sent to the rest of the empire than last year's St.M. TA-105/45
