Hitler's Rationalization Decree (3 Dec 1941)

Hello everyone,

First off, I do not own the Kar 98k books (perhaps I should as the info may be there).

Has anybody here obtained an electronic copy of Hitler's decree Wi/I F 5.117 from the Bundesarchiv-Militärarchiv ?

It is dated 3 December 1941 and it is the starting point of the rifle manufacturers reducing the level of inspection (thus less waffenamt stamps).

Thanks,

Guillaume

It seems I had the wrong reference, but now it's all right I have found it.

The famous decree of 3 December 1941 is entitled :"Vereinfachung und Leistungssteigerung unserer Rüstungsproduktion" meaning "Simplifying and increasing the performance of our armaments production"

I attach a screenshot of the beginning of it as it can be found in the book »Führer-Erlasse« 1939-1945 by Martin Moll (available through Google Books).

Has anyone got the full decree or hints at the following measures taken by Fritz Todt until his death on 8 February 1942 ?

Thanks!

GO, I’ve copied this thread to the K98k discussion forum where I think it will be addressed. It’s a good thread.
