Eing.: 2 5.JUNI 1942 Appendices 3. AON group leader ! In the above matter, I shall be able to communicate to all the competent authorities, in particular the Königgrätz district administration, the following: In order to save the limited available coal, other energies, auxiliary raw materials and labour, the simplification and performance of arms production requires a wide-ranging elimination of all those plants which, due to the lack of raw materials, cannot work under full utilization of their capacity or which, as a result of their technical equipment, do not provide the guarantee that the raw materials will be used in the best possible way if the energy required is economical. In the textile printing industry, it has to be stated that the shortage of raw materials to be printed is so severe for the civilian sector that it is expected that this industry will be severely restricted.
