English Translation

Hinisterial Director Walter asked only to coordinate the individual transactions, if by telephonic means, with his abbey. Any resistances of the Reichswirtschaftsinisterium and the Foreign Minister Antes would be eliminated by the Reich Food Ministry, if necessary a decision of the Lord Reichsmarschall against these ministries would be brought about. The remaining fat gap of 6 - 8 000 tonnes could perhaps be closed due to further negotiations in the spring of 1943 by additional deliveries from the East on the part of the Reich. If the compensation transactions are not carried out or not in the expected catch, the whole question would have to be discussed again between the Deputy Reich Protector and the Reich Food Ministry. The deputy Reichsprotektor explained that under all circumstances the current allocation of fat in protectorate would have to be maintained, which is well known to be far below the allocations in Reich.
