The German Minister of State. W 6 January 1944. (p.d.) BOTN St.M. 7/44. √ DA RO To 4-Brigadeführer Stnatssschreiber Dr.Hayler, Berlin. AE Reichswirtschaftsministerium. T8DE SA Dear comrade Hayler ! In the case of the great Uufangs in the manufacture of arms, the supply of professional clothing and work shoes to the workers working in the armaments industry is particularly important in order to ensure that the production of necessary working peaces is carried out without friction. I have therefore prepared, years ago, to make available to my liaison team to the technical unions led by I-Oberführer Kasper, from the entire quota available to the Protectorate, a quantity of industrial workers suitable for the number of jobs. Since my liaison office is in close contact with the appropriate equipment companies, it was possible to determine the real needs of the workers and to use the available amount of work shoes correctly. After the quotas which I have announced, which the Community has fixed for the first quarter of 1984, a continuation of the supply of industrial products to the Com munity is required.
