English Translation
3 the situation became more and more difficult for the arrival of further transports, because the newly arrived or newly appointed workers were handed over to my supervisors but nevertheless immediately and without regard to their residence were sent to the workplaces. A proof of the labour force on paper was thus made possible, but not a practical management of the labor force, because no one could know from the supervisors what jobs their people had come to work in, so much less than the workers exchanged the instructions for the determination of the workplace with each other, to be able to work. At the end of the last week, Neumann faced the problem of having to unbundle approximately 13,000 in this way to 16.2 instead of only 3,500 at the end the previous week. Unbundling has thus become a real problem, because without it we had to advise in great confusion, both with regard to the maintenance of work and discipline, as well as payment, food and other care measures. Neumann was, in my opinion, too little hard to realize the measures I had ordered in the prescribed time. He was probably also too little personality in order to assert himself appropriately in the various places. He traced all the difficulties back to the lack of understanding on administrative sites and probably saw the whole situation much darker at a weak moment than it actually was, and so he went against himself. From this I have to state explicitly that Neumann has postponed the unbundling which I have ordered, which is very difficult, without reasons known to me, but has worked out an admirably exact system for them, which I can use to the full with the now unbundled unbunding.A failure of Neumann in the sense that he does not clearly recognize his tasks or the correct cooperation.
