invited to tender, as they were already working
in the POW camp.
According to their letter of 15/7/42, Messrs Lenz
& Co declined to tender because of a shortage of labour. For this reason,
Huta was asked to commence work immediately on the basis of their tender of
13/7/42.
The Central Construction Management requests your approval and
the return of the enclosed original estimates with a view to concluding the
contracts. |

[This document comes from a file probably containing about one
hundred originals and copies in German and Russian and various letters taken
from KL Auschwitz Birkenau by the Soviets in January/February 1945. The letters
were subsequently bound together. Microfilm M 26 kept in the Archives of the
High Commission for the Examination of Hitlerite Crimes in Poland, in Warsaw,
shows part of these. PMO file BW 30/27 of 41 pages (microfilm 130)
contains photographs of these documents, including several letters identical to
those on microfilm M 26. The entire Soviet file is not known to us at present,
but in the author’s opinion all the essential documents have been
communicated, for it is always the same ones that are photographed and produced
