There is no clear price structure or any conductive stability of prices. Greece: Due to the measures of envoys Neubacher there is free market. The trade with the Reich takes place via the degres by sluice. The opening of the market meant that prices did not rise any more and, with this stabilization, further achieved that existing stocks could rise and production and trade started up again. The official price of the drachma of l : 6 is well overtaken, as about a lamb roasting 90.O00 drachmas costs. So that the Wehrmacht can buy, the wehrsold is converted to 1 : 7,200!
