Tomre ALBRECHTSDORF VV 23 June 1941 BLATT TO THE BRIEF OF THE BUEC of the State Fektetäcs bein Reichsprotektoc in Bohemia mnà mhten. Eing.: 28.JUNI 1941 INFORMATION To n The company J. Schowanek is employed with 90 % for the Reichsluftfahrts-ministeri- um in Sonerstufen and can therefore no longer meet the civilian demand for goods. In addition, a few days ago, the Special Representative of the Ammunition Agency Dr. Todt visited the Pirma and told her that the remaining lo % of the private sector had to be shut down, thus removing the special products of J. Schowanek from the market. The company Strnad & Rydval in Zasada and the Pirma Barton in Turnau exploit this by increasing their plants and setting up on the factory of wood beads and wooden buttons. To this end, it should be noted that, for example, the company Strnád &rydval never produced wood beads nor any other article that had anything to do with wood. The company has only always grasped the production of glassware. It has taken in people from the company J. Schowanek and is looking for other people who will continue to set up and develop the production. Pirma has already set up some machines and preparation machines and sets up other machines, as far as we know. This is exactly how it is with Barton in Turnau, which builds 6 spindle machines for wood beads in its own workshop. Now, as already mentioned, the company J. Schowanek can not supply them, these companies use the situation of J. Showanek due to the war to build new production sites. There is now an absolute danger that once the war ends. is to have developed two important competitors of the company J. Schowanek, against which you lack any means to fight at present by involvement in war productions. It is not here alone the companyJ. Schowanek, but the same, also represents the interests of the entire Sudeten German wood bead industry, which is in exactly the same position as the company J. -chowanek. P.S. It should be noted that these companies buy the very rare maple wood, which the company needs for its production, and increase the prices enormously. 40 RM per m3, while the competing companies pay the maple price up to a height of 70 RM. In addition, they use the quotad extremely scarce fuel and various foreign resins and materials for the production of polishes. St. S.1m-9941
