8 3. After deduction of the groups of persons mentioned under 1 a, b, e and d, some 20 to 25 000 of the total number of approximately 45 000 South Tyroleans who are forced to enter the Neich area faster will remain. From this the Gau Tirol-Vorarlberg takes over about 25 o/ = 6 000 persons, the remaining about 19 000 persons are made pro rata to the Gauen Salzburg, Oberdonau and Steiermark. Among them are mainly fully-working-capable South Tyroleans, which are reserved for the later closed settlement area, but are available to the individual Gauen at least 2 to 3 years. A later Swang for the further resettlement will not be exercised. 4. If apartments are not sufficiently available for accommodation (also salvage quarters, apartments in Jewish possession, see above), the individual Gauleiter can set up collective accommodation, which must however be furnished in every way in a home and not as "camps". Through appropriate cooperation with the relevant employment offices, it is necessary to ensure that the South Tyroleans from the collective accommodation are brought into work faster and thus the collective housing has only the function of a transit point. 5. The collective accommodation provided by the return migration office of the foreign organization of the NSDAP. can be provided within the framework of the A0. For the time being, the agreements reached with South Tyroleans are still to be confirmed. However, it is to be desired that the additional accommodations temporarily seized by the AO with my consent (youth homes and barracks) will be cleared again and that a further allocation of South Tyrolean people, especially Reichsdeutschen, will be made to the actual return homes of the AD. 6. The current distribution of the coming South Tyroleans to the mentioned Gaue or to the return-migration homes of the AO. takes place centrally from the department »Relocation South Tyrol« at the Gauleitung Tirol-Vorarlberg in Jnnsbruck, which stands in constant connection with the head of the official German immigration and return-migrant agencies, Bolzano. The necessary cooperation between this place and the return homes of the AO is already established. I recommend to the Gauleitern of Salzburg, Oberdonau and Styria, for the smooth operation of the distribution constant Aufauf. to be sent to this place and to take advantage of the rich experiences that the Gau Tirol-Vorarlberg has already been able to gain in the acquisition of the South Tyroleans. 7. Since the accommodation of South Tyroleans in collective accommodation is to be only a temporary emergency measure and I still attach great importance to the fact that the South Tyrolean people from their previous home place are immediately inserted into their future job break and into their home in the Reich, the previous work entrance and housing mediation journey remains. This applies both to the Gaue Tirol-Vorarlberg, Salzburg, Oberdonau and Styria as well as to the other Reichgebiete. If for a South Tyrolean, who is eligible for Gaue Tyrol-Vararlberg , Salzburg , OberDonau and Steiermark , runs a job placement procedure, the South Tyrolean however before its conclusion, i.e. Before the call from South Tyrol has to mature, it is necessary, by forwarding the personnel documents on the part of the lead employment office Jnnsbruck to the above-mentioned admission hall, to ensure that the employment agency is then brought to the conclusion expedited from there. Jch please to keep me informed about measures to be taken hereafter and about Jhrre experiences. On behalf of e.g. gripped μ-brigade guide
