English Translation

A 30 of the fuels (the quantities to be supplied, however, are not yet known) are expected to be sufficiently supplied during the winter months, and the improvements already made in the rationing of footwear and textile materials also make the situation more bearable. We observe that the allocation of reference notes for textile materials and all other articles is generously handled and that the selection of the goods is also possible according to the wishes of the consumers. For individual consumers and large consumers there are not only separate application points, but also very different standards are applied in the allocation. Companies are very often rejected with their applications; for example, applications by entrepreneurs for blankets, pillows, etc. for air protection guards in the areas have been rejected smoothly; soap is allocated only to workers who actually do very dirty work, and the allocation of soap to commercial workers has been suspended in the first place. The individual consumer, on the other hand, receives his limited applications, but the practice of allocation tries to give the matter a social painting (which the re- gime calls socialist even then). For example, a woman with a list of clothing, etc., who wanted to apply for a registration office in the West of Berlin, appeared in a register. Fashionable clothing and abundant pieces of jewellery indicated that the lady's needs could not be too urgent. The woman wore a modern white fluff coat and wanted to wear a coat, among other things. Her all requests were rejected on the grounds that because of her externality an urgency of sight could not have been suspected. If she maintains her claim, an examination of her budget must be carried out before she is allocated. The woman withdrew all her requests. It can be understood that the small people who attended this process took the decision by accident. Rumor has it, by the way, that in future, in cases of doubt before the allocation of reference documents, the judgment of the NS-house functionaries would be obtained. We could observe another significant incident at a jam stand of a Berlin department store. There, a woman complained about the nature of a chocolate bar she had bought, which had a grey fitting, as is often the case in the summer. In the lively discussions with the sellers, other customers intervened, which led to the police determination of the buyer at the end. A similar behaviour of the population can be observed more clearly. To sum up, therefore, on the point of rationing, we must say:
