(b) Mr Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia,Office for the Office of the Secretary of State. Land Mähren. b.103.47. Subject: Release of upholstered leather. It is evident that in recent times, to an increasing extent, various German departments, including the government commissioners, have requested exemption from upholarded leather by companies from the central office for public contracts. These requests cannot be met in any case, since, due to the current supply situation, all existing pole leather must be left exclusively for Wehrmacht purposes. I therefore request that such requests should not be made for the future, since they are completely futile. I ask, in particular, that the government commissioners point to this fact. Exceptions cannot be made in any case. On behalf of: gez. v.Wedelstädt. Bohemia Certified: Gar Reicht pun Büroanfer. 11F an Rs/Str.
