I The massaging of the enemy attacks on three large fronts makes it absolutely necessary to increase the production of arms by the fastest means. This increase is possible if additional labour is provided to the German armor. A further significant increase in the use of foreigners cannot be achieved at the moment. Under the circumstances, it is therefore necessary to re-establish forces from such civilian productions which are not as decisive as the immediate increase in the production of ammunition, armored vehicles, aircraft, submarines, etc. Essentially, this must be done once again by using the resources of those sectors which have already been used in the previous year. The repeated combing of these industries is justifiable because the present situation requires the application of much more stringent standards. Moreover, the farms have partly been able to close the gaps in the autumn of 1943. Moreover, in many places the deduction meant a very normal deduction of labour costs which had previously been created as a result of the mobilisation of forces through the reporting obligation and the abundant inflow of foreign reserves.
