| 1. | the army | 6.5 billions RM |
| 2. | the navy | 1.2 billions RM |
| 3. | the air force | 6.0 billions RM |
| ———————— | ||
| Total | 13.7 billions RM |
Besides these 13.7 billions RM about 500 millions RM will be needed for the Reich defense requirements of the civilian departments.
III. Permanent requirements
According to a recently conducted survey, the component of the armed forces will have the following permanent requirement after the rearming is completed:
| 1. Army | 3.6 billions RM |
| 2. Navy | 0.73 billions RM |
| 3. Air Force | 2.507 billions RM |
| ————————— | |
| Total | 6.837 billions RM |
At present it is hardly possible to make an accurate estimate of the permanent requirements. In the case of the Army it is very likely that the amount for the permanent requirement will be considerably raised.
Later I will submit further material, particularly a statement about the requirements for the years until the completion of the rearming, as soon as the necessary inquiries are concluded.
I submitted copies of this letter to the Reich Minister for Finance, and to the President of the Reichsbank.
Heil Hitler!
Yours,
