The above matter was discussed in detail with Captain Dr. Wolft of the Arms Inspection. The review of the matter promised by Captain Dr Wolf had the following result: Weapons and ammunition, which are manufactured in the entire Reich area - including the Protectorate, have for a long time received no company name. On the contrary, weapons and ammunition are provided only with a keyed camouflage designation. The corresponding orders were issued by the OKW and refer to the production of weapons for all three Wehrmacht parts. On questioning, Captain Dr.Wolff explained that this information was based on communications from the local army inspection inspector (Major Rulf). However, he had made sure, by questioning him, that the same regulations also apply in the field of the inspection of the marine and air force. The letter of the Chief of the Ministry of the 3rd ds. Mts. is attached again. peniary Ncant b.w.! St.M. NM-120a/448 572/44of
