Dr. BERNHARD ADOLF PRAG, 6 March 1944 Director General of the Association for Chemical and Metallurgical Production Stephansgasse 28 - Tel. 23344 -9.MRZ.1944 To the head of the ministry of the German State Ministry Mr. Ss-Standartenführer Ministerialrat Dr. G i e s Prague IV Czernin-Palais Betr: Difficulties in the trade with Switzerland I thank you for the clarification of the letters and notes. The difficulties in the trading of goods with Switzerland have a particularly unpleasant effect on the special pharmaceutical areas. However, it appears in the circumstances, i.e. for the time when the German-Swiss negotiations do not reach a normal conclusion, probably not possible to facilitate the situation. e.g. the association for chemical and metallurgical production has submitted an application for permission to introduce 50 kg of ascorbic acid at the end of the previous year. This product is necessary for the production of various pharmaceutical specialties /chemostidine for the treatment of stomach ulcers etc./. T As a result of the above mentioned difficulties, such quantities can currently not be imported due to exhaustion of the German standard value limit, which makes it impossible to grant a special value limit for Bohemia and Moravia.
