2 Berlin, 1 October 194z. fek 1.) Fernschreihen s ss Reich, in Berlin M.9. Leipzigerplatz l1 a. High-profile Mr Reichsmarschalli The ordered food deliveries from the Protectorate require a reduction in the nutritional content of the entire population of Bohemia and Mihren after the most accurate examination. The consequence of this will be that the up-to-date voluntary achievements of the peasants and workers will decrease especially in the war economy. For then necessary coercive measures, especially in large plants, there are no sufficient forces available. I spoke yesterday about the real possibilities of the food supplies of the Protectorate by means of precise documents and oiner brief statement on the war incarceration in the Protectorates with the state secretaries grains and cheeks, generabberst soil sheep and my co-workers State secretary Frank and Minister Dr. Bertsch. The result of this discussion is to present Secretary of State Körner and Bake. However, with my sole political and economic responsibility for the Protectorate, it is urgently necessary for you, Mr Reichsmarsehall, to immediately omit me to a consultation, since the day of a delay in a decision on my possible food supplies from the Protectorates, which were discussed with your colleagues, is a matter of urgency.
