belonging to the Wehrmacht and at the Stalags approximately 2400 prisoners of
war are employed on 1 January 1942. Following an order of the High Command of

offices, so that it cannot be expected that any substantial number of prisoners
of war will be made available through this action by the reviewing of the
individual measures taken. In this case also there will not be available a
sufficient number warranting a convocation of the committee. As soon as things change, I shall give you further information |
