| Minutes of the
second conference of the Department Chiefs on 8 December 1939 in Krakow. |
|
| Present were: Dr. Frank, Dr.
Seyss-Inquart and others. Page 1. The Governor General, Reich Minister Dr. Frank, reported on his conference with Field Marshal Goering. As a consequence of this appointment of the Governor General to be the deputy of the Plenipotentiary for the Four Year Plan, in the future nothing will be allowed to happen in the General Government in the field of economic policy without the Governor General being able actively to promote or block it. It would be the duty of the Governor General to extract all the best and the most useful for the Reich from out of the economy of the General Government. Page 3. SS Lieutenant General Krueger: Since 1 December, several trains have been arriving every day in the area of the General Government loaded with Poles and Jews from areas newly incorporated into the Reich. These transports will continue until about the middle of December. |
