English Translation

In September 1942, Thierack advanced jurisdiction for criminal prosecution of bindingly secured Jews, Gypsies, Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, who had been serving more than three years' sentence, Bohemia and Germans who had expected punishment over eight years of age, to the jurisdiction of the Reich's leader, SS Himmler. The reasoning was remarkable: ©With the idea of freeing the core of the German nation from the Poles, Russians, Jews and Gypsies, and with the idea to release the Empire of the Associated Eastern Areas to settlement for the German people, I intend to leave the prosecution of Poles and Russians and Jews and Cypsies to the Reich's leader of the SS. I am based on the fact that the courts can only contribute to a small extent to the extermination (Ausrottung) of members of these nationalities.© Ulrich Herbert : Fremdarbeiter, Politik und Praxis des "Ausländer -Einsatzes" in der Kriegswirtschaft des Dritten Reiches, 2nd edition, Bonn 1999, p. 284.

The procedure was typical in the case of one Polish prisoner of the concentration camp in themannheim Daimler-Benz AG plant. In November 1944, an increased number of punks was found, approximately 25 axes were badly polished. The cause soon became apparent, as it was too tight a template. Although there was no concrete evidence of sabotage the template could bend in an unintentional fall to the ground, the prisoner was a barber's profession, only briefly worked as an auxiliary worker, immediately suspected in this sense. The prisoner was assigned to a conspiracy squad and the defence officer SD in the company involved the Gestapo, who reported the case to RSHA in Berlin.

Before sending to AEL, none of the groups were sure. After a number of protests, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs banned Italians from November 1941 to July 1943 from these facilities and from November 1943, but in exceptional cases the Danes continued to be sent to AEL and concentration camps. Italians were moved and possibly sent to the Italian Police Criminal Camp in Pistiece. See Mark Spoerer: Forced work under the hook cross, Argo 2005, p. 175. 390. The specially announced AEL set up Bremen State Police in Fargo an der Weser in June 1940. The prisoners had to work under inhuman conditions on the construction of a huge underground bunker for fuel and submarine bunker ©Valentýn.

Ernst Kaltenbrunner, as Heydrich's successor in RSHA, stated in May 1944 that working training camps for security police are all different but not recovery camps. Working and living conditions are generally harder for their residents than in the concentration camp. It is necessary to achieve the desired effect and it is possible because the stay of individual prisoners usually lasts only weeks, at most several months.© Cit in: Mark Spoerer: Forced work under the hook cross, Argo 2005, p. 120.
