- 2 - 21 job seekers are only in small numbers in the Oberlandrat district. The Oberland Council and the Kreisleiter explained that the Gauleiter places decisive value on a work in Budweis and did not estimate the dangers of the arrival of Czechs so high, if at the same time a large number of Germans came to Budwei and formed a group of guides there. Director Falkenbach replied that the number of moving Germans would be limited in the current shortage of labour and that Czechs would also have to be expected in the design offices and employment offices. He also drew attention to the fact that local industry and in particular the German industry will suffer from the work, since the "Hermann Göring-Werke" will have a strong attraction to the workers.The attraction of apprentices from the population surplus of the Bohemian Forest is becoming very slow, i.e. After 3 1/2 years of operation and only then lead to a reinforcement of the German element. The district leader and the Oberlandrat did not agree with these concerns, but asked to examine whether a smaller work from the "Hermann Göring Group" could not be considered for Budweis. Min. Rat Dr. F i s c h e r stressed that the Reichsprotektor of a larger industrial planning in Budweis was absolutely negative because of the popular political dangers. The problem of electricity supply proved to be almost insoluble. The plants have an extraordinary power consumption, the engine plant a connection value of 7.0o0 kVA, the foundry rather more. The southern Bohemian electricity network is completely inadequate. From the north, electricity can only be expected if the north-south collection rail is built, which is temporarily still in the state of the recital. Therefore, one would have to build a line to Linz, which at present is also overburdened. Direktor F a l k e n b a c h summed up his technical point in such a way: According to Budweis, he would only go with a work if he were ordered to do so and even then only with the light metal foundry. Here, his gentlemen made attention to the fact that, according to the previous experiences, an extension of the body metal foundries, yes etc. a doubling, already after a short time would be possible.
