69-5 9 Appendix 2 to 1/40. National Socialist German Workers' Party The deputy of the Führer. Munich 33, February 20, 1940. Chief of Staff. Braunes haus Ordnung — A 20/40 — Subject: Old Material Collection. The collection of used materials is an important part of the four-year plan. In order to ensure a thorough collection of waste materials in the city and the country, it is therefore more necessary than ever for the party to have an entrance. For all questions concerning the collection and utilization of waste material, the Reichskommissar für Altmaterialverwertung (Reichskommission für Altstoffverwerterung) is always entitled to take all necessary measures for the collection of the waste material not covered by the trade. The Reichskommissar is under the responsibility of the Gaubeauftragte für Altmaterialerfassung bei den Gauleitungen, the Kreisbeauflegte bei die Kreisleitung und die Ortsgruppeneaufträgen bei der Ortgruppenleiten der NSDAP. The task of the representatives is to carry out voluntary collections and shock actions in households and enterprises. The ongoing collection of waste material by trade and through collections in the schools is a matter for the district administration offices, which also receive their instructions for this purpose from the Reichskommissar. ilm to ensure a uniform entrance of the party, I therefore announce the following guidelines: The so far with the sovereigns of the NSDAP. existing scrap bins= are extended to old material bins. As far as no scrap= so far existed. In bins, the old materials bins are re-formed. The manager takes over from the commissioner to be determined by the sovereign. In addition to the leaders of the divisions and affiliated associations, the Emsass=stelle should include: the local heads of the Reichsluftschussbund, the Technical Emergency Aid, the Reich Kriegerbund, association leaders of bereins in the local group area as well as the obligatory agents of the waste materials industry and a representative of the employment office for the approximately necessary entrance of welfare recipients and unemployed persons. If necessary, the High Authority may use other organisations for the collection of waste materials and appoint their head to the place of entry. In any case, the place where the holders of the collection operation are located is the place which decides as the head of the Cinsa office which organizations have to carry out the collection. In order to take account of the special circumstances in the individual Gauen, the collection actions are ordered after approval by the Reichskommissar by the Gaubeauftragter after approval of the Gauleiter. The Reichs Kommissar für Altmaterialverwertung gives the guidelines for the implementation of collection actions. Propaganda measures in any case require approval by the Reichskommissar, who works in the closest agreement with the Reich's propaganda leadership. ez. M. Bormann. F. d. R.: Mottmann.
