However, the provision of the recognized victims of war was generally very scarce. It was therefore one of the most urgent tasks of the Reich to remedy this situation for the people of Germany. As early as May 1939, the Reichsarbeitsministerium provided funds to the Reich Protector as the first measure, which were distributed in an action initiated in mid-June 1939 as one-off support to the most needy victims of war and war survivors. The very large number of requests for support then required a substantial increase in these appropriations. After the Reichsversorgungsgeseß had been introduced in the Ostmark and in the Sudetengau, it could only be a question of the Jeit to introduce the German right of supply also for the People's Germans in the area of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, especially as it was introduced by the decree of the Führer of the 20th century.

Although at the present time the Reichsversorgungsgeße has not yet been fully introduced, the main basis for this is nevertheless created, in order to be able to further expand the supply depending on the economic development of the conditions in the Protectorate. For the first relief of the most urgent plight of the ethnic German former professional soldiers of the former Austro-Hungarian Wehrmacht was helped by generous granting of one-off support. This action was repeated by special measures in December 1939 and March 1940.
