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.

          Settlement Main Office
