at the present time to start new labor units. In the list of requests, various wishes are expressed which, however, have already been fulfilled for some time. These are:

1. I. G. Farbenindustrie A. G., Auschwitz, Upper Silesia. There, inmates have been employed [eingesetzt] since April 1941. At present 5,300 inmates are employed.

2. Low-temperature carbonizing plant [Schwelanlage] at Jawischowitz, Upper Silesia. In the low-temperature carbonizing plant Jawischowitz, inmates have been used since July 1942. Originally 1,000 inmates were provided for this as is also specified in the list of requests that is now being sent. The labor unit was, however, enlarged. Already 1,300 inmates are employed.

3. Luranil — [Baugesellschaft] and Anorgana G. m. b. H., Dyhernfurth.* For Dyhernfurth a total of 2,700 inmates altogether are agreed upon who also will be sent. Now 450 inmates are employed there.

A considerable number of inmates are still needed to fill the labor allocations needed for the most urgent final stage of the armament program — that will decide our victory — of the Reich Ministry of Armaments and War Production as well as the Reich Air Ministry. In view of this fact I cannot fulfill further wishes for the present. I will, however, keep the lists of requests here and will come back to this matter as soon as a possibility for allocation [Einsatz] will exist.

I ask you to inform Professor Krauch of this. 
 
Heil Hitler!
