The food should be kept in a simple frame; it is all unobtrusive to prepare. So by Dr. Ley meat cards do not have to be demanded, I would pay attention to the fact that there are poultry. On another day I had the president of the ministry, Oberregierungsrat, -Hauptsturmführer L. Schmidt, Dr. Miesbach called and again expressed to him, I wish for the said food only soup, a fish run, poultry and dessert. It is inexplicable to me how Dr. Miesbach then published the instructions enclosed in the copy. In particular, in the conversation with Dr.Miesbach - 2 - St.S.πg-33-a/y2y
