Just as in the entire question of handling experimental orders issued
by the Armed Forces, the Liaison Office W has paid primary attention to the
fact that to a constantly increasing extent the Armed Forces are large-scale
customers and buyers of IG products; so likewise in the construction of
production plants and shadow factories for the Armed Forces, IG has seen its
chief interest to be in maintaining control over the production capacity of
such plants and any influence they might exert on their respective markets,
that is, to take over the factory management of the state plants itself in case
they should be put into operation.
