Soi Due to the great attack of wounded persons in the hospital Klester Hradisch and Kremsier and through the large passage of hospital trains in Prerau, I hereby once again approach all members of the German Red Cross with the request to make all unused bread and margarine cards available to the running Peridl e at the latest in the last week and to hand them over at the roundabout of the DRC. In Prague and Brno, food cards are also collected for this purpose by the members of the preparedness and local communities. According to the decree of the Secretary of State K.H. Frank, no special allocations may be authorized by the economic departments even for the noble purpose. In the future, however, we also want to send a greeting from the German Red Cross to the Olmütz district in the form of lebzelt, cakes and biscuits to the wounded soldiers who drive through our district area. Cigarettes are also to be added to these gifts of love.And I also ask you to gather among the acquaintances and to hand over the block waiter les DRK. I hope not to be misrepresented and remind you of the great victims of our fighting and wounded soldiers, to whom we pay a small part of our thanks through this gesture. Heil Hitler !
