English Translation

24aM a large number of German people are constantly being pulled out of the high-speed armaments industry of the Protectorate and are missing their service there, but at least temporarily deprived of work in the armament plant. On the other hand, the arms inspector, the Minister for Economic Affairs and Labour, the Armaments Officer for Bohemia and Moravia and other most serious protest have repeatedly raised silence and pointed out that work in the arms industry seems more important than carrying out transport controls on the road. I fully agree with this view, especially since my autonomous executive bodies under the German leadership are constantly monitoring the situation. I therefore ask you to limit yourself to the utmost extent in the establishment of transport controls by the NSK and to use only forces which will not be removed from any other more important activity. 65946 X
