English Translation

In the fulfilment of the obligatory deliveries of cattle, major difficulties arose, as slaughter-ready cattle are only limited. Better quality classes are missing altogether. The deliveries were mostly fulfilled by young cattle of low weight and poor quality. The upswing of spoiled cattle and pigs remained unchanged, the cauliflower growth continued to fall. To date, 3,632 cattle, 16,724 pigs and 89,372 meat canned meat were delivered to the rest of the Reich.Measures were taken about the sale and settlement of free-bank meat.The supply of milk and fats was troubleless. In the case of milk deliveries to the dairy farms of the larger consumer centres, disturbances are expected in the next quarter, as a result of tyre shortages a number of trucks had to be shut down. I am trying to remedy this situation. e need for early potatoes, including the special allocation of 2 kg, has been met. e kitchens, which had so far complained the most about an insufficient supply of potatoes, received special allocations of potatoes. In addition, KLV camps, school homes and youth homes, military training camps and gliding schools, air force assistants and auxiliary military service-committed labor girls, workers' training homes of the Reinhard Heydrich Foundation received special assignments. Further Kartofieln aüs Böhmen were sent to Mihren. There are still difficulties with the provision of skilled workers for the construction of potato storage halls. As a result, the construction work could not be supported to the necessary extent. d, however, should not be put at risk to the urban population. In addition to the 150 g of bread, 15 g of fat per day and 250 g of meat per week already granted, the allowances of the Reich for harvest helpers were taken over. The vegetable supply situation is still to be described as satisfactory under consideration of the continued dryness. The fruit supply has improved somewhat. The egg collection is good despite the progressed season. The supply went smoothly.
