36a SDSPISEROSKBRDTaDS m B n SA However, in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, aid for the conversion to generator gas engines is not granted. The vehicle owner has his own interest in not losing his money spent on the generator by good treatment and strives to train the driver on his own initiative. In contrast to the rest of the Reich, the generating companies and workshops have sufficient skilled personnel to train and train drivers, and there are also sufficient official examination officers who have taken a total of around 5 000 to 6 000 tests. I would ask you to consider whether it would be appropriate, in this situation, to bind valuable German forces by taking over the training and testing that has been carried out so far by Czechs, or whether it might not be more appropriate to use the NSK in future, in agreement with the Road Transport Group and the Czech and Moravian Länder Commissioner for Generators, only for the supervision of the training of drivers and for training of examination officers. This would also have the advantage that the certificates already issued by the examiners on the acceptance of the driver's test would not be replaced by new NSKK certificates, at least 6 000 certificates, the issuing of which would involve a considerable administrative effort. A subsequent examination of the drivers entrusted with the management of generator vehicles is not considered, as in the rest of the Reich.
