employment of approximately 1,500,000 men. A supply 
 
of labor to this extent can be obtained only through
 
transfering contracts for the civil population to
 
occupied territories or through an immensely increased
 
employment of women; otherwise, most grave disturbances 
 
in the production of goods will take place. This shift-
 
ing of the labor supply in favor of the manufacture of
 
arms and ammunition must lead to a most serious dis-
 
ruption in the manufacture of other goods important to
 
the war effort (railroads, post, Dr. Todt' s Organiza-
 
tion building fortresses, roads, etc., the Four Years
 
Plan, etc.). This shifting will likewise disrupt the 
 
manufactures needed for absolutely essential repairs
 
and replacement needs, as well as the guaranteed pro-
 
visioning of the inhabitants with consumption goods
 
provided for in the rationing scheme, as clothing
 
cards, etc.
