To the Reich Minister of Labor
Attention: State Secretary Dr.
Syrup
Berlin SW 11, Saarlandstrasse 96
Subject: Preferential
allocation of workers who are being released to
construction
projects within the framework of the Krauch Plan
Within the next few
days various construction projects in the Reich will no doubt have to be put
off as not having absolute priority. Besides the constructions for air-raid
protection, which I have already recommended for preferential labor
allocation, I herewith request that workers being released be put at the
disposal of the construction projects of the so-called Krauch Plan, for which I
hereby lift the restriction on construction. [Handwritten marginal note: Taken
care of by order of 8.9.39 V a 5552/417/39g]. The Krauch Plan is at present in
need of 13,000 workers. It is a question of about 100 construction projects. I
have asked Dr. Krauch to submit to you without delay a list of the
various construction projects, arranged according to regional labor office
districts, and I request you to send appropriate instructions to the regional
labor offices. |
