English Translation

5./ The work performance in Nieder-Denau was also quite influenced by the non-negotiation of equipment. It is essential that every worker takes a cramp and spade away from home, as is already the case with the use in Moravia. However, every worker would be aware of the fact that he must constantly carry his tool with him. In fact, it has already happened that the device was loaded into a load wagon, but it was not unloaded at the site of operation but is still wandering around somewhere today. 6./ The selection of the workers for the ski jump operation left a lot to be desired. It was not the healthy and strong farmers' sons who were sent to us, but rather the servants who were living in a sluggish situation, etc. Some of them were ill or not fully capable of working. Moreover, they were usually very poorly equipped. I had people with me who had neither shirts nor socks. Of course, such a man was not able to work and made only a burden for us. Also, very little was taken into account by the responsible authorities of the social conditions of the people. Another small farmer was sent to work, who has no one as his wife. The woman was in the 7th month of pregnancy. It should be borne in mind that many people depend on their weekly earnings, the various aids, etc., should be regulated before the workers leave. It always takes quite a long time from the place of work. And the family remains without income. 7./ The relationship of the party people employed to monitor labour with the workers caused us difficulties. Consequently, in the beginning our workers were convinced as prisoners that in our case another method is in place and more promising. Here we also have difficulties with the party, but mur because it is an almost reversed attitude than in Nieder-Danube. They deal very well with the people, which certainly has a very good effect politically. On the other hand, we are getting difficulties, because the workers get very often free from the Poles without the camp leaders - something is said. In the camps, a lot of workers are naturally missing every day, who are reported to be fictitious, because no one knows where they actually are. If beispiclswsise a unit works particularly well, it gets a day off here. I consider it incorrect, because we have here the task to lead the position building as quickly as mur possible. The people want the same thing, because they would like to be at home again. And the one day they get free does not mean anything for them, since they cannot use it accordingly.'In addition, the following is to be considered here. The pel. chiefs have as task only the supervision of the work.
