Dear Dr. Struss,
After a journey made more
difficult by heavy snowfall we arrived back in Como and Milan on schedule. I
want to write to you immediately about some urgent questions which should be
dealt with quickly.
Procurement of Labor for Germany
This question is, of course, of immediate interest, and Herr Dr.
Ambros, particularly, is asking for assistance for Auschwitz. I had promised
the latter that I would find out as soon as I arrived here how the matter
stands and that I would report about it. Unfortunately, I am not able to do
this at the moment since no final decision has yet been made about the
recruitment of chemical workers. The Referent concerned of the Plenipotentiary
General for Labor Allocation with the Staff for Armament and War Production,
and Lt. Colonel Kirschner and Dr. Deichmann are trying to issue a final decree
about the compulsory recruitment of chemical workers during the course of this
week. As soon as the wording of this decree is definite, I will see that you
get a copy of it. I myself have up to today not yet been able to contact the
three persons mentioned above.
Perhaps you could telephone Messrs.
Wurster and Ambros to give them this provisional information. |
