The Plenipotentiary of Prague, 1 February 1945 for local transport 2 copies VIII/3 No. 688/I/1945 gRs. nested - 1 FEB. 1945 To the M inist e ra mt Secret Reichssache e.d. Mr. MR. Dr. G i e s im H a u s e Betr.: "Kohlenzugang". Reference: My proposal from 27.1.1945 - VIII/3 675/I/45 g. to the Minister of State. WKO/Abt.WKO/No. 21/45 g. Kdos. (VIII/3 682/45 g) - on 26.1.45 for the time being about 30 % of the vehicles provided for by the keyword "coal supply" have been ordered. Since more than 3000 trucks are intended for this purpose, approximately 1000 vehicles must therefore have been used. The note on the back of my proposal dated 27.1.1945, according to which only 145 trucks were used, is therefore in conflict with the communication from the WB dated 27 January 1945. At the same time, I am informing the telex of the Reichsminister für Armor und Kriegsproduktion dated 24 January 1945 (vIII/3 687/I/45 g) according to which the Reich Defence Commissioner must be involved if necessary.
