Your activity as my commissioner
1. To Oberingenieur Dr.
Duerrfeld
I. G. Farbenindustie A. G.
Auschwitz
Dear Dr.
Duerrfeld !
As the setting up of the Poelitz installation,managed by
you as a commissioner until now, may be considered more or less, complete, you
will, at your suggestion, be relieved by me from the duties of this office of a
commissioner as of the close of the commissioner session of 7 January 1943. In
the future, the plant will represent its interest by itself, without the
concurrence of a commissioner appointed by me.
In your two-years work
as a commissioner you deserved much credit for the setting up of the Poelitz
installation and, above all, the comparatively early start of the production is
attributable to your work to a decisive extent. I wish to congratulate you on
the successful conclusion of your task and express my full recognition and my
thanks for your willingness to work at all times and for your performance.
At the same time, I order you hereby to continue to function as my
commissioner for the setting up of the whole Auschwitz plant and, in this
capacity to guarantee, by all means, most of all the early start of the most
important productions of this work, of which you have been notified separately.
I wish to assure you of my personal support in every way in your carrying out
this task. I expect of you that |
