| ALPERS: The reason
given is shortage of labor. And in fact there are 2,000 men lacking at
Heinkel-Oranienburg. MILCH: As far as the French are concerned, 60,000 of the ones that we had been promised are still missing. (Comment: 40,000 are missing.) If we get those men I would assign 2,000 to Heinkel-Oranienburg. FRYDAG: The French become worse and worse; I threw out 80 of them who will be sent to concentration camps in Russia. They refused to work. The French say at 4 o'clock: "I won't work another hour," and you cannot make them work another hour. This happened four weeks ago all of a sudden, when the first bombing attack on Paris took place, while before that the French were the best people. MILCH: We were told in Oranienburg that they were good as long as they didn't get spoiled by our German people. FRYDAG: It happened here after we got the French from Messerschmitt; according to the French they got a warm meal twice a day there and had their laundry done. We cannot do either. We don't have a warm meal twice a day either. At Messerschmitt the living conditions were better. MILCH: Gablenz, I want you to get in touch with Reinecke concerning these French. I demand that if the people refuse to work they immediately be placed against the wall and shot before all the other workers. I ask you to get in touch with the Reich Leader SS and to ask him to discuss the matter with the Fuehrer. Now is the right time; unless we do something effective now, the others will become bothersome. I ask that their being sent to concentration camps be taken into consideration too. I'll tell you afterwards how you should act in such a matter. So I do not agree. You should make another proposal. At the beginning you cannot expect more. |
