this respect, not only in production but also in the matter of
health, and what that means especially today, we all know.
It is my
firm conviction that if the people are more or less satisfied, the production
which is continually being asked for will be attained, because after all, it is
for us and our dearly beloved Germany. |

I am enclosing herewith a copy of a letter from our foreman August
Grollius, who as SS Scharfuehrer supervises the Russian civilians working on
the night shift.
The Deputy Works Manager, Mr. Mustin, who also employs
a number of such Russian workers and who is quite satisfied with their
performance, went to the camp in Kraemerplatz on my inducement and had a talk
about the food with Mr. Weihberg, the camp commandant. Mr. Hassel from the
works police who was present at the time, butted in and declared that one
should not believe what the people said. Also that one was dealing with
Bolshevists and they ought to have beatings substituted for food.
I am
free from any false sentimentality. This is a matter concerning people who have
been given to me to work, or anyway to the armored vehicle shop, and from whom
I demand work. Already they have proved today that they can and will work.
