In order to meet the requirements of the Wehrmacht on the characteristics of the vehicles to be summoned, it was not possible to avoid ordering even indispensable vehicles. The convenings are already on the way to the Oberlandraten. A temporary severe disturbance of the road transport during the time of the disembarkation may not be prevented. However, the final loss of transport space can be largely offset by the fact that all existing transport means are used in the right place and fully exploited.This can be done in the following way. (l) Insofar as vehicles which the Oberlandrats consider essential are finally taken over, it should be pointed out to the previous vehicle owners that they can obtain replacements from the stock of non-angled commercial vehicles, whereby small vehicles should also be used with regard to the existing excess of drivers.
