| h. Uniform organization and handling of all measures against
possible air raids. As already stated with reference to the points mentioned
above, here too it was the endeavor of Vermittlungsstelle W to guarantee the
uniformity of procedure in the individual plants. For this purpose so-called
map games [Planspiele] were conducted in the middle of the thirties in
individual plants at the suggestion of the authorities. During these map games
over the conference table certain damage in the plants caused by air raids was
taken as a starting point, and the operational management was urged to make
suggestions for a quick change-over of the production procedure with the aim of
having the smallest possible loss in production. |

my own handwriting and initialed them, and I herewith declare under oath that I
have stated the full truth in this affidavit to the best of my knowledge and
belief. |
