Re: Supply of food to our plants in case of war
 
Our Circular of 22 June 1939 
 
 With reference to our circular concerning the supply of food in the A-Fall, we wish to inform you that the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (Ministerialrat Dr. Dietrich) has requested to be informed of the number of workers who, in the A-Fall, —

1. will be given additional food by the plants for the whole day,
 
[Handwritten note: 500]  
 
2. will receive additionally only one warm meal,  
  
[Handwritten note: 2000 Griesheim]  
 
3. will be evacuated from an outlying district of the plant and will be lodged in a place nearer to the plant giving the name of the new place of lodgment,  
 
[Handwritten note: 500 (a.) bachelors' home of the plant 150, (b) Domestic Science School, (c) Mess halls & schools]  
 
4. will work in undercover factories; it should be stated whether the individuals will be fed by the plants in canteens or whether they will be lodged in private quarters, that is, will provide for themselves.

In all cases, the place and date of assignment (1, 2, 3 * * * mobilization day) must be stated.

The Ministry of Food requires this information in order to give the necessary instructions to its subsidiary offices, so that by depositing the corresponding identification cards in the different localities, either the distribution of food can be assured or, by allotting suitable supply bases, the required quantities of rations can be directed to where they are needed.
