| NOTE FOR DEFENDANT FLICK FROM DEFENDANT WEISS, 7 JULY 1943, COPIES TO DEFENDANTS BURKART AND KALETSCH, CONCERNING EFFECT UPON LABOR CONDITIONS OF TRANSFER OF KRUPP'S PRODUCTION TO SILESIA, ALLOCATION OF FRENCH CIVILIAN WORKERS FOR LOSSES OF RUSSIAN PRISONERS OF WAR AT LINKE-HOFMANN WORKS, AND RELATED MATTERS | |

| Subject: Transfer to
Silesia of the firm Krupp. With regard to Dr. Kuettner's note of the 6th of this month, I asked Dr. Putze today, how the large-scale transfers to Silesia of the Krupp firm would affect the allocation of labor. Mr. Putze told me that he, as an armament supervisor, as well as on behalf of the Gau Economic Chamber, would of course urge the firms shifting their production from the West to Silesia to bring their own manpower for this production with them. He said that he found out, however, that in many cases the establishment of factories in Silesia was termed "transfer", while actually an extension of the works was being effected. During his next stay in Berlin he would give us more details about this subject. At the Links-Hofmann Works [LHW] labor supply is so far satisfactory. During the last days 260 French civilians have arrived. The allocation of French civilians is to be brought up to a total of 500 men. These allocations will make up for the losses, chiefly of Russian prisoners of war, we have suffered since the spring of this year. Furthermore we shall receive additional personnel for the production of A 4 equipment and tanks. |
