[concentra…] tion camp at Auschwitz. During negotiations with
the SS and Special Committee M3 of the Office of the Reich Minister for
Armament and War Production in 1943, Krupp participated in the giving to the SS
of lists of approximately 500 Jewish workers and in their compulsory transfer
from Berlin to the Auschwitz concentration camp for work in Krupp’s
contemplated production of shell fuses at Auschwitz. The defendants Mueller and
Eberhardt were notified of this action. Numerous other important Krupp projects
were planned upon the assumption and the intention that the labor of
concentration camp inmates would be available for the execution of those
projects, including a plant at Maehrisch-Schoenberg and four earlier projects
at Auschwitz. The defendant von Buelow and others frequently referred Krupp
workers to and received them back from the Dechenschule disciplinary camp in
Essen.

count were committed unlawfully, willfully, and knowingly and constitute

peace (including the acts constituting war crimes and crimes against humanity,

their own acts and for all acts committed by any persons in the execution of
such common plan or conspiracy.
