This would make up for the fat subsidy of the empire he requested. State Secretary Körner replied that he was fully aware of the situation in the Protectorate and was happy to give a presentation to Mr Reichsmarschall on the basis of today's debate. He acknowledged that the delivery of l80.ooo t bread-growers in the changed situation was a fulfilment of the stv.
