16 Der Deutsche Staatsministeniniste für Böhmen und Mähren Eig 19. OKT. 1944 E n t w u r f ! I. To Mr Reichsminister Professor S p e e r Berlin 3h, arec, Birde srd etcr ftle iirr et is Dear Party comrade Speer ! Bga In your telex of 20.9.ds.Js. - Nr. 6,062 - you had promised that the negotiations on the creation of a single central armaments and war economy would be completed in about 1 4 days ar 19x1ig44 and then a regulation for the Protectorate, which is in line with my wishes, could be implemented. Since almost 4 weeks have elapsed, I think it should be assumed that the basic solution will be difficult and at least not expected shortly. On the other hand, the conditions in the Protectorate are pushing the TYOMOs problem after an early cleaning up. The intensification/general situation, such as the special situation in Bohemia and Moravia, requires that the concentration of the state-owned economic administration is now speeded up.
