It is about 8000, but a certain number of refugees are still to be expected to increase this sahl. These persons, further referred to as refugees, are not treated as resettlers, but fall under the usual alien regulations.

They are accommodated in camps of the Volks- deutschen Mittelstelle in Mecklenburg and are all to be settled in the Altreich. The arrival of the refugees is to be expected in about 3 weeks. But the professional gathering of refugees should be given to me bon the Volksdeutsche Mittelstellen information. I will send these to Yhnen immediately after receipt. At the same time, I asked the People's German Central Office to inform me of the camps in which the refugees will be admitted. I will also send these information to Yhnen immediately upon receipt. I would like to ask the competent regional employment offices to take appropriate measures for the entrance of the refugees. Since most of the occupations will be in the commercial sector, there will have to be greater inter-territorial compensation and, in any case, it will be necessary to prevent refugees from moving to the newly integrated eastern areas. I should like to ask the Landesarbeitsamt to point out that there is no case for mediation in the eastern regions. The Volksdeutsche Mittelftelle has received a copy of this letter.
