d. We provide one blanket in the summer and two in the winter;
also, a set of eating utensils and a drinking cup for each guard and prisoner.
e. According to an agreement between Mr. Pister and Mr. Kupke,
the main administration for workers’ camps assumes the responsibility of
feeding the prisoners for a payment of RM 0.70 per day for each prisoner, and
RM 1.20 for each guard.
f. Mr. Pister found the former camp for
Italian military internees, Humboldtstrasse South, to be suitable.
Accommodation can be provided for 2,000 prisoners altogether by using
triple-deck bunks, instead of the double-deck bunks used heretofore. A guard
tower of the simplest form should be erected at each of the four corners of the
camp for security reasons. A hut of the former camp Humboldtstrasse North and a
part of the air raid trench of this camp must be incorporated into the south
camp. To this end the barbed wire must be rearranged accordingly. Other changes
are not necessary in the camp.
In the opinion of Mr. Kupke the camp can
be occupied in about 14 days if by that time camp Dorsten can take over the
Italian military internees, and if the construction alterations in camp
Humboldtstrasse South are made.
g. As the way from camp
Humboldtstrasse South to the plant is very long, Standartenfuehrer Pister
stipulated that the prisoners be transported by streetcar to and from their
place of work, since they are very poorly provided with footwear.
h. Krupp will provide suits of working clothes for particularly
dirty work.
i. While we are clarifying the question of the
allocation of the prisoners, Mr. Pister will obtain clarification regarding the
allocation of the 2,000 men who are to be made available. He requests a
telephone call as soon as we have come to that point. He will then come to
Essen to inspect the working quarters, and to arrange the details concerning
the number of guard personnel etc.
2. 500 concentration camp
prisoners (women) who are to be allocated to us by the Main Committee for
Weapons. It is intended to take these prisoners, as far as possible, from the
2,000 prisoners mentioned under [paragraph] 1.
3. 500 convicts
requested by Mr. A.v. Bohlen from the office of District Attorney Joel,
Hamm — District Attorney Joel has offered the prospect of hundred
convicts. A conference with him is to take place in the week of several 9-15 of
this month. Messrs. v. Buelow and Kupke of the Cast Steel Works are to handle
the negotiations.
The locomotive and car construction can take 200-250
men at first and an additional 250-300 men in perhaps 3 months. |
