bh Abschrif t. Der Reichsverkehrsminister Berlin W 8, den 16. May 1941 2o Bfp 192 Voss.-.Strasse 35. / Schnellbrief ! An dio 29/ Oberste Reichauftragte - Subject: Postponement of conferences and congresses for the relief of Le Ere of passenger train traffic The demands on the Deutsche Reichsbahn by war- and vital transports are constantly increasing as a result of the war events. During the coming months, the strictest scale must be applied to the provision of travel facilities so that the locomotives and pexsonals are available for these important transports in all circumstances. As a result, various arrangements had to be made to restrict travel. I therefore ask that all the Supreme Reich authorities order that meetings and congresses and other events connected with railway journeys be postponed, in particular I ask that such events be ordered during the Pentecost period (i.e. from 25 May to 8 May). I would be grateful for the announcement of the orders. Addition for the Minister of the Reich for People's Enlightenment and Propaganda. I also want to make sure that during the next time no guest performances will be arranged for larger Thcater and concert tours. On behalf of the European Parliament.
