The size of coupons was reported in detail in the Chronicle on August 10, 1943: “Overview of the holders of coupons. The Coupon Department provided us with an updated list of consumers holding all types of coupons. As we know, there are the following categories: category “R” – heads of divisions and departments, senior decree adoption [vide] (popular name: Beirat). Then there are the so-called “L” coupons for doctors and their family members, “PH” for pharmacists and their families, coupons for the Order Service and the fire brigade (these two groups grant allocations for only per person, as does “B-I”). Holders of coupons “B-I” and “B-II” are mostly heads of offices, secretaries, group instructors, clerks and meritorious officials. Coupon “B-III” is the socalled circulation coupon. Heads of plants and departments receive a certain number of such “B-III” coupons to be distributed at their discretion. Finally, there are the so-called “CP” vouchers (for hard-working individuals) and CP-I, like B-III (circulation coupon). The list of special allocations concludes with coupons for fecalists and garbage collectors. It should only be noted that the category of so-called “R” vouchers (Beirat) also includes individuals favored by the Chairman and previously also by Dawid Gertler (including meritorious individuals or those particularly close to the Chairman or Gertler).
The number of consumers is as follows:
| R (Beirat) | 2,236 |
