APR. 1942 Ei 15.JUNI 1942 I took the opportunity to hear again these days a number of German operating leaders of larger arms works of the Protectorate about whether there has been a drop in the performance of the workers recently. It was expressed unanimously that there could be no mention of this anywhere. I have also made observations in the direction of whether, as Dr Voss, Director-General, says, the workers no longer attach the same value to beer as they used to be and that beer consumption could be easily used in the arms industry, because of its lower nutritional value. The managers agreed that they would consider the restriction of beer consumption in the factories to be a very hard and unacceptably effective measure; the worker would still like to drink the weaker beer / at present 76, from mid-May the year is around 6° / still very much. In any case, a decrease in consumption is not to be recorded in their plants. These statements seem to me to be more accurate than those of Dr Voss, director-general, who, as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Skodawerke, hardly ever comes into operation himself, but depends on what his guarantors report to him in the management building of Skudawerke in Prague. tf puid an. 0.
