Nr.: Mr. State Secretary at the Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia 44-Group leader K.H. Fr a n k , al Prag. Betr.: Company Riensch u. Held A.G.,Prague (Opinion on the question of the expansion of the Prossnitzer Fabrikation ). Vorg.:_ Vfg.vom 7.1l.1941. Anlg.:1. Dr. Adolf's opinion is presented in the annex. The construction of specialised factories, excluding mass production, will always pose risks to individual independent small and medium-sized enterprises; such a large company would have the same impact as Bata in the footwear industry. A predominance of a single large company of this kind is likely to present certain dangers also in view of the geopolitical and national importance of the area around Prossnitz.
