The Reichswirtschaftsminister Berlin W.8, the 3, June 1943 Li II EM 10626/43 Behrenstr.43 To the Lords Reichsstatthalter, Oberpräsidenten, Regierungspresidente und appropriate authorities - Landeswirtungsamten - Runderauslass _Nr. _308/43_LWA Subject: Bicycles. As a result of the limited allocation of bicycle tickets, individual business offices have decided to use the existing bicycle and to invite the public, with the participation of the party and other organisations, to deliver bicycles. In individual cases, the use of bicycles for recreational trips should also have been addressed. In spite of the limited allocation of subscriptions, I would ask the economic offices to refrain from all individual measures in this direction. As soon as the use of the bicycle stock has to be initiated or restrictions on bicycle traffic are necessary, special directives for uniform rules will be issued.
