The necessary rooms have been provided for the accommodation of Banat Germans in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. There is now a lack of accommodation equipment - namely bed racks, straw bags, lockers, tables, stools etc. Jm Protectorat is located a number of Grossla likes of the army administration - such as in the castle Austerlitz, in the Hannamalzfabrik in Littau, the former factory Hirsch in Horschitz and the former Hitschmann factory in Nachod. The High Command of the army did not agree to help with accommodation equipment at the telephone request of the Wehrkreisverwaltung Böhmen and Moravia, since it had to be kept ready for the front. I would ask you to instruct the army administration to provide accommodation equipment of the designated type for the accommodation of the Banat Germans until it can be returned as a result of deliveries of its own production - about in 8 weeks. Jm Protectorat is also home to a number of large warehouses with equipment, in particular a warehouse of the naval arsenal of Kiel, branch Chemnitz, in Sedletz near Kuttenberg and a series of air force camps in the field.
