English Translation

The fact that no fodder grain could be delivered is alarmed, since the Wehr- macht had already demanded the supply of 33 000 tonnes of oats in its estimates. However, he does not know that another 30 000 tonnes were to be delivered by the Protectorate. Reich and Wehrmacht had a unit for him, which concerns deliveries from dependent areas. It must be a mistake here for the processing place for the demands to the Protectorate. The two mentioned quantities are identical according to his rejection. He would be able to do so if the Wehrmacht were satisfied in its demands. Ministerial Councillor Schmidt madh te noted that the supply of fodder grains in Protectorate would be impossible at all. He pointed out that fodder grain vie could only have been delivered to the Reich in recent years if bread grain cultivation in the interests of the Reich was not strengthened to the detriment of fodder grain cultivation. On the question of the 'real presence of meat from abroad to the Protectorate, Secretary of State Backe declared that this would not be a question of greater importance for the empire.
