Division VI Prague, 7th XI. 194427 Food and Agriculture VI/1-B-1100-10/44 alinlsteramt Ou 7. NOV. 1944 To the head of the ministry in H a ús e Subject: Harvest failure on the 4y-force training site Beneschau. Reference: Your note dated 20.10.1944. A precise estimate of the crop failure at the Beneschau 4-force training centre cannot be made without an in-depth visit to the site. I can only express my opinion in the spirit of the report presented to me by the Agriculture Councillor Dr. B i e s a l s k i. From 12.9.1944 on the tour carried out on 11.9.19 44, in which it is stated: "The 15,000 hectares currently in the target area are ordered according to a very rough estimate about half. The other half consists of paths, ditches, unland, meadows and village areas. Of the ordered area with about 7000 ha, 1/3 to 1/2 bread grains, the rest is clover, buckwheat and very little minced fruit. Of the area with bread grain, more than 50 % is no longer possible. However, it is to be noted that these estimates are entirely raw and are based only on the impressions collected in one afternoon." The note with 11 annexes is completed. 1 note v.20.10.44 with 11 attachments. iid bryang / $h)$ sq2-$ WS d m 77
