English Translation
19 - 6 - very low and the unemployed sit down to hundreds and thousands only their working and office hours. Since the German authorities /the economic representative of the Reich/ also hold the view that an evacuation of the enterprises should not take place contrary to the will of the Hungarian competent authorities, practically not too much happens. The German authorities are very concerned not to give the Hungarians the impression that the country is to be plundered, but systemic eviction plans are mainly opposed to the freight situation. It is practically impossible to carry through larger transports today. Catatrophic mass has the failure of the competent authorities e.g. In the field of the transport of food products, for example, according to the information provided, about 1 200 000 tonnes were no longer transported for the kingdom of certain most valuable export goods, which had already been partly bought by the Reich. It is mainly bacon, corn, wheat, soy and flax. Among other things, 600O tonnes of sugar also fell into the hands of the Russians. On the railway stations of the directly threatened zone north-east Budapest there are hundreds of trains that cannot be carried away, partly with the most valuable, most war-important materials and food supplies. For example, a commando under SS-Sturmbannführer Schmidt, who has a special order from the Higher SS- and Police-Führer, has identified trains that stand for three weeks in the stations, including: Some of the pigs that had been transported alive were already decayed, many wagonloads with Honvedmunition and other military equipment were underneath them and several wagons were loaded with war-important raw materials. the live pigs were not forwarded or slaughtered, it was said that they were intended for stations, which were supposed to be in the hands of the Russians. However, there was no order to transfer these transports to. In a similar bureaucratic way, in all areas today, in the face of the frontline situation, action is taking place.
