Subject: Removal of militarily important
products from
Ludwigshafen/Oppau
to a different place of storage.
During the conference of 15 March at
the WIFO, a program for the removal of militarily important products from
Ludwigshafen/Oppau to a different place of storage was laid down. The WIFO has
submitted to me the draft copy of a contract with Farben concerning the
execution of this program. Due to the changed military situation in the West,
it is necessary to examine how far the program as laid down at present is to be
carried out. I invite you to a conference concerning this subject on
Thursday, 25 July 1940, 10:00 hrs. Behrenstr. 43, Room 1, 5th floor
