enclosing a questionnaire 1 and request you to compile the necessary
information for us as soon as possible.
We would particularly point out
that any warehouse expansions which are planned up to 1 April 1939 must also be
taken into account. The Military-Economics authorities require in principle
that stockpiling for 3-4 weeks, both for raw materials and preliminary products
as well as for manufactured goods, should be arranged. According to our
experience, they will only grant exemption from this requirement when its
execution is not possible for technical reasons or if the stockpiling would
involve expenditures which could not reasonably be demanded from the IG. Should
you, therefore, in one or the other case, not be able to comply with this
demand of the military authorities, please give the reason under the heading
“Remarks,” against the product or raw material concerned.
We
are herewith sending you once again your mobilization instructions which you
will kindly return to us together with the completed questionnaire.

Subject: Stockpiling
Attached hereto we return the forms 2
sent to us, duly filled out. As may be seen from the entries, we cannot store
the ammonia requirements and the production of concentrated nitric acid for 3
weeks. To store the quantities of ammonia and concentrated nitric acid in
question, a considerable enlargement of the present storage space would be
necessary, which would, in the case of ammonia, require an expenditure of
500,000 marks, and in the case of nitric acid, an expenditure of 700,000
marks. |
