Messrs

Dreyserstraße 7/9ß
On the occasion of the visit, on 27/2/42,
made to our Central Construction Management by the Head of Amtsgruppe C of the
SS Economic and Administrative Main Office, SS Oberführer [senior colonel)
Dr Ing Kammler, it was decided that the incineration furnaces ordered for the
prisoner of war camp will not be proceeded with, but that the 5 three-muffle
furnaces ordered by the letter of 22nd October 1941, correspondence register no
215/41/Ho will be instilled in the prisoner of war camp.
The verbal order issued by the Central
Construction Management is therefore withdrawn and we would therefore ask you
to confirm cancellation of the order. |
