In all the sectors in which we work for the Wehrmacht, we receive recognition. We are proud to have been recognised as a leader and to be able to recognise that the leader has expressed his agreement about our society and our basic social attitude. Nevertheless, no week passes in which we would not have a significant part of our time to defend the conditions for a smooth work and the reputation of the company. As an armaments company, we are really in a state of total war, and should therefore devote all the power that is in our company and can be mobilized to the work of war directly and unspoiltly.
