Copy Division VI Food and Agriculture Prague, 14 January 1944. VI - 3816 - 299/43 1.) TA ---= Subject: Vegetable supply Moravian Ostrava. I have just spoken to Mr Z s c h a u - b i t z from the German Landzentrale in Brno and asked him why the instruction of the Association for the Garden and Wine Industry to load 80 t vegetables to Moravian Ostrau had not been followed. Mr Zschaubitz explained that this had happened according to an order of the Gebifa Brünn of 29.12.1943 - Z. Neussendofer - the following contents: "Delivery of goods to Mähr-Ostrau. As told by your Mr. Zschaubitz by telephone, the planned delivery of 8 wagons of vegetables to Moravia-Ostrou is temporarily not possible. Should, however, be subject to other dispositions in this matter, you will be informed in due time by us. I have ordered Mr. Zschaubitz to carry out the delivery to Moravia-Ostrava immediately. I have asked him to take note that, if this order is not complied with, the Minister of State will have him imprisoned who prevents the execution of the order. 2.) Mr. F a u s t to be informed. After the communication from Zschaubitz, contrary to the communication by Mr P a 1 m of 12.1.1944, the loading ban was issued by the Gebifa Brünn. There was no mention of the circuit management in my long-distance conversation, which I have just spoken with Mr Zschaubitz. I would ask you to immediately determine for what reasons Mr P u i l 1 e has prohibited the loading of 80 tonnes of vegetables to Moravia-Ostrava (construction of the circuit?) and to submit a written report on this. B i e s a l s k i is to be communicated by telephonic means, since, as agreed, he has submitted a report to the head of the upper division Schulte-Schomburg, in which considerable allegations have been made against the conduct of the district management. Schulte Schomburg wanted to speak to Gauleiter J u r y in Brno on Sunday. II.
