IN OU Betr.: Schanzbeinsatz der zechischen agrachlichen Jugend in Niederdenau. Vorg.: There: Befohlener Bericht vom 29.12.1944. The first atmospheric effects of the Czech agricultural youth's ski jump are asked to look into the daily reports No. 106/44 of 12.12.44 and No. 109/44 of 22.12.44. i The first letters from the field of application here show that the young people employed for ski jumping work are mainly complaining about accommodation and catering at the place of deployment. The housing in barns, on floors and in stables, which is partly compared to such a in criminal camps, had generally disappointed, especially since the employed were only inadequately provided with necessary ceilings, so that they freeze in the cold winter nights. As insufficiently equipped the used were, shows above all the fact that/in a camp e.g. The half of those who were accommodated there had only one blanket, which was followed by them there. Various gave rise to a complaint that the youth curatorium thought only of its own leaders and equipped only them satisfactorily. In other letters it is stated that the diet is inadequate, but it must be borne in mind that the land youth had not yet been able to eat food in accordance with the conditions of war, in contrast to the city youth. It was also pointed out that in the first round of black, unsweetened coffee, one had not had anything to eat. His disappointment was also expressed because the conditions found in the field of operation were different from those previously promised. The population in the area of operation regarded the inhabitants there as intruders and had forbidden them access to restaurants, associations and also to the post office through posters. Since these letters were written in the first days immediately after arrival in the field of operation, however, they must be written with the 1578/48/160 ABIZ
