2. In the navy the required faster increase of personnel, the building of a 4th entry to Wilhelmshaven and the refortification of Helgoland cause additional expenses.
3. Air Force
a. According to an order of the Fuehrer, the setting up of all air force units has to be completed on 1 April 1937. Therefore considerable expenditures have to be made in 1936 which at the time when the budget for 1936 was made, were planned for later years only. Special additional expenses are caused by the creation of sufficient ground force personnel.
b. In the air force the first introduction of new types has to take place in 1937. Therefore the required industrial preparations have to begin in 1936.
It follows that an additional sum of at least 3.6 billions of RM will be needed by the Wehrmacht for 1936.
Of this about 1 billion RM is allotted to Army and Navy together. In the case of the Army and Navy, the execution of the orders and, in consequence, the dead-lines for the payments of the deliveries lagged quite considerably behind the placing of the orders. Therefore it can be assumed that these 1 billion RM will not be needed in cash before 1 Apr 1937. However, the orders for these 1 billion RM have been placed and in the fiscal year 1937 these 1 billion RM will also be needed in cash.
In the air force the additional expenditures amount to 2600 millions RM. Here the execution of the orders from the budget funds of 1936 as well as of the orders for the additional requirements is in full progress. The 2600 millions RM for the air force have to be made available in the fiscal year 1936.
As yet it cannot be ultimately settled whether the introduction of the two years' service will lead to further additional expenses.
II. Requirements for 1937
The preparatory works for the budget of 1937 have not been concluded. At present the requirements for 1937 are estimated to be for:
