of the Interior. In consequence
of the basic attitude of the Reich Ministry of Justice, no agreement could be
reached, so that a solution of the problem was not achieved up to the
time of the collapse. |

Subject: Report to the Reich
Leader SS
on
9 and 10 February 1942 |
|
The Reich Leader informed me that
a couple named Gaertner was living in Paris. The husband is a German National,
his wife is French. Gaertner owns several factories, the staff of which
comprises about 3,000 men. All these factories are to be shifted to the East
including the personnel. For this reason it will be necessary in the near
future to examine the personnel from a racial point of view. The Reich Leader
mentioned especially that older members of the personnel, even if they don't
come up to the racial standards required, should be resettled, if they can no
longer cause damage in the biological sense, and finally, even these members of
the personnel who, though not meeting the racial requirements, are willing to
be sterilized.
The Reich Leader will give more detailed instructions in
the near future.
The Chief
of the Race and
Settlement Main
