On the same day a conference took place in the Concentration Camp Auschwitz on the initiative of the Armament Inspectorate Breslau, concerning the accommodation of Soviet Russian prisoners of war in the prisoner-of-war camp, who were to be employed at the building site of the IG. The following representatives of the Armament Inspectorate participated: Brig. Gen. Trachek, Capt. Rehfeldt, Capt. Weise, and the commandant of the concentration camp.

An inspection of the prisoner-of-war camp of the concentration camp took place, and it was found to be in order. The prisoners of war who are still employed there made a thoroughly pitiful impression.

In agreement with General T., we stated that we could only employ Soviet-Russian prisoners of war on the building site on the condition that —

l. they are accommodated in the concentration camp Auschwitz,

2. the transport from the camp to the building site is guaranteed, which, up to now, has not been the case because of the difficulties in procuring the necessary passenger and freight cars which still prevail,

3. only healthy and strong prisoners of war are allocated, who are fully capable of work.
