Copy Deutsche Landzentrale ta An den Böhm.-Mähr. Verband- für Garten- und Weinbauwirtschaft PragII. Viktoriastraße 10 Brno, January 24, 1944. Shipment of 8 wagons of vegetables to Moravia. Ostrau. At the express request of your dear Mr Palm on Tuesday, 18.1.1944, we hereby also confirm in writing that the shipment of the wagons to Moravian Ostrau was initially cancelled by the Gebifa. It is known to us that the withdrawal of the dispatch order by the Gebifa was due to an order from the state authority (Lord Superior Councillor Lindemann), which in turn, as we are also aware, is due to the intervention of the district administration of Brno. Since, as a result of an agreement between the Gebifa and the district administration of the NSV, the vegetables stored for this purpose were exclusively reserved for the additional German supply, and we had to assume the responsibility for the appropriate use of these products to the district management personally, we made communication of the intended dispatch of the circuit management, when finally the order for the dispatch of 8 wagons came again. You have to know that we have to report to this point every week. As a result, we received instructions from the circuit board to refrain from shipping. It is not a direct intervention of the district management, but we know personally from the district head that he asked the regional authority (Mr. Bandesvize President Dr. Schwabe) to intervene with the competent authorities in Prague on this matter. We hope to have served you with the above and draw Heil Hitler ! Deutsche Landzentrale GmbH with the signature
