English Translation

According to an order of the Y-Oberführer von Gottberg of the l5.6.l93939, this direction was responsible for 4-Obersturmbannführers Falkenberg. After this departure, Pg• Bicker also took over the direction of driving readiness. There was no precise control over the mileage, fuel consumption, repairs and other ancillary costs of each car; anyone who believed to need a service car demanded it from the service and was also provided with a car. The result was that the very large car park was constantly on the road, large distances were taken into the Reich without any responsible attention being paid to these things. A permanent night service was set up and it happened that in the evening at 12 o'clock Stenotypists who lived in Třebetov called for a car to drive to Třebetov, which was also followed. 126 Following the transfer of the service by Gruppe VIII - Finance, a file was drawn up for each product, except for the motor vehicle letter, a monthly inspection file on the performance and consumption of the vehicle, as well as tyres, accessories and repairs. These monthly reports are transferred to an annual card, so that there is a precise control of operating costs for each car.
