131 Prague, August 7th 1g40th THE PROTECTOR OF REICTS in Bohemia and Moravia Z/40 An a/ men Head of Division I and II b/ all groups - except Moravia - Subject: Exchange of food cards on business and holiday trips to the Reich. It has come to my knowledge that a member of my authority, on presentation of a certificate issued to him, which authorized him to receive Reichs Lebensmittelmarken against the depreciation of protectorate stamps, has been damaged by the devaluation of wrong sections of the Rotektorats-Haushaltskarten. In order to prevent other similar cases, I ask that all authorized officials and employees of Jhrer Group be ordered to present their protectorate food cards at the same time as the application for a certificate for the competent nutrition office of the Reich for the cancellation of my card issuing office in the Czernin Palais, Ecdschloss Nr.39. In consequence, certificates are issued confirming that the beneficiaries have been withdrawn from the food supply department for the duration of their service or holiday journey and that corresponding sections of the food cards have been devalued.
