This meat was usually cooked into a soup:"
"The clothing of the eastern workers was likewise completely inadequate. They worked and slept in the same clothing in which they had arrived from the east. Virtually all of them had no overcoats and were compelled, therefore, to use their blankets as coats in cold and rainy weather. In view of the shortage of shoes many workers were forced to go to work in their bare feet, even in the winter. Wooden shoes were given to some of the workers, but their quality was such as to give the workers sore feet. Many workers preferred to go to work in their bare feet rather than endure the suffering caused by the wooden shoes. Apart from the wooden shoes, no clothing of any kind was issued to the workers until the latter part of 1943, when a single blue suit was issued to some of them. To my knowledge, this represented the sole issue of clothing to the workers from the time of their arrival until the American forces entered Essen.
"Sanitary conditions were exceedingly bad. At Kramerplatz, where approximately 1,200 eastern workers were crowded into the rooms of an old school, the sanitary conditions were atrocious in the extreme. Only 10 childrens' toilets were available for the 1200 inhabitants. At Dechenschule, 15 childrens' toilets were available for the 400-500 eastern workers. Excretion contaminated the entire floors of these lavatories. There were also few facilities for washing. The supply of bandages, medicine, surgical instruments, and other medical supplies at these camps was likewise altogether insufficient. As a consequence, only the very worst cases were treated."
barrack as health conditions permitted. At Kramerplatz, the inhabitants slept in treble-tiered bunks, and in the other camps they slept in doubletiered bunks. The health authorities prescribed a minimum space between beds of 50 em, but the bunks in these camps were separated by a maximum of 20 to 30 em.
"The diet prescribed for the eastern workers was altogether insufficient. They were given 1,000 calories a day less than the minimum prescribed for any German. Moreover, while German workers engaged in the heaviest work received 5,000 calories a day, the eastern workers in comparable jobs received only 2,000 calories. The eastern workers were given only two meals a day and their bread ration. One of these two meals consisted of a thin, watery soup. I had no assurance that the eastern workers, in fact, received the minimum which was prescribed. Subsequently, in 1943, when I undertook to inspect the food prepared by the cooks, I discovered a number of instances in which food was withheld from the workers.
"The plan for food distribution called for a small quantity of meat per week. Only inferior meats, rejected by the veterinary, such as horse meat or tuberculin-infested, was permitted for this purpose. This meat was usually cooked into a soup.
"The percentage of eastern workers who were ill was twice as great as amoung the Germans. Tuberculosis was particularly widespread among the eastern workers. The tuberculosis rate among them was 4 times the normal rate (2 per cent eastern workers, German, .5 per cent). At Dechenschule approximately 2 1/2 per cent of the workers suffered from open tuberculosis. These were all active tuberculosis cases. The Tarters and Kirghis suffered most; as soon as they were overcome by this disease they collapsed like flies. The cause was bad housing, the poor quality and insufficient quantity of food, overwork, and insufficient rest.
"These workers were likewise afflicted with spotted fever. Lice, the carrier of this disease, together with countless fleas, bugs and other vermin tortured the inhabitants of these camps. As a result of the filthy conditions of the camps nearly all eastern workers were afflicted with skin disease. The shortage of food also caused many cases of Hunher-Odem, Nephritis and Shighakruse.
"It was the general rule that workers were compelled to go to work unless a camp doctor had prescribed that they were unfit for work. At Seumannstrasse, Grieperstrasse, Germanistrasse, Kapitan-Lehmannstrasse, and Dechenschule, there was no daily sick call. At these camps, the doctors did not appear for two or three days. As a consequence, workers were forced to go to work despite illnesses.
"I undertook to improve conditions as well as I could. I insisted upon the erection of some new barracks in order to relieve the overcrowded conditions of the camps. Despite this, the camps were still greatly overcrowded, but not as much as before. I tried to alleviate the poor sanitary conditions in Krammerplatz and Dechenschule by causing the installation of some emergency toilets, but the number was insufficient, and the situation was not materially altered.
"With the onset of heavy air raids in March 1943, conditions in the camps greatly deteriorated. The problem of housing, feeding, and medical attention became more acute than ever. The workers lived in the ruins of their former barracks. Medical supplies which were used up, lost or destroyed, were difficult to replace. At times, the water supply at the camps was completely shut off for periods of eight to fourteen days. We installed a few emergency toilets in the camps, but there were far too few of them to cope with the situation.
"During the period immediately following the March 1943 raids many foreign workers were made to sleep at the Krupp factories in the same rooms in which they worked. The day workers slept there at nights, and the night workers slept there during the day despite the noise which constantly prevailed. I believe that this condition continued until the entrance of American troops into Essen.
"As the pace of air raids was stepped up, conditions became progressively worse. On 28 July 1944, I reported to my superiors that:
"'The sick barrack in camp Rabenhorst is in such a bad condition one cannot speak of a sick barrack anymore. The rain leaks through in every corner. The housing of ill is therefore impossible. The necessary labour for production is in danger because those persons who are ill cannot recover.'
"At the end of 1943, or the beginning of 1944 -- I am not completely visit the prisoner of war camps.
My inspection revealed that conditions eastern workers in 1942.
Medical supplies at such camps were virtually non-existent.
In an effort to cure this intolerable situation, I con care for the prisoners of war.
My persistent efforts came to nothing.
"The French prisoner of war camp in Nogerratstrasse had been des half a year in dog kennels, urinals, and in old baking houses.
The dog kennels were three feet high, nine feet long, and six feet wide.
Five me slept in each of them.
The prisoners had to crawl into these kennels on all fours.
The camp contained no tables, chairs, or cupboards. The supp of blankets was inadequate.
There was not water in the camp. That treat ment was extended was given in the open.
Many of these conditions were reported to me in a report by Dr. Stinnesbeck dated 12 June 1944, in which he said:
"Three hundred fifteen prisoners are still accommodated in the camp.

These are insufferable conditions.
There are no chairs, tables, cupboards, or water. The keeping of a register of sick people is impossible.
Bandages and medical supplies are hospital.
There are many loud and lively complaints about food which the 'Illness and loss of manpower must be reckoned with under these conditions'."Camp Humboldstrasse has been inhabitated by Italian prisoners of war.
After it had been destroyed by an air raid, the Italians were re brought in to work at the Krupp factories.
Upon my first visit at Camp "I was the first doctor they had seen for at least a fortnight.
There was no doctor in attendance at the camp. There was no medical supplies in the camp.
They had no shoes and went about in their bare feed and head.
Their hair was shorn. The camp was surrounded by barbed wire "The amount of food in the camp was extremely meagre and of very poor quality.
The houses in which they lived consisted of the ruins of weather conditions.
I reported to my superiors that the guards lived and attacked by 10, 20 and up to 50 fleas.
One camp doctor employed by me refused to enter the camp again after he had been bitten very badly.
I visited this camp with Mr. Groene on two occasions and both times we left the camp with badly bitten.
We had great difficulty in getting rid of the fleas and insects which had attacked us.
As a result of this attack by body.
I asked my superiors at the Krupp works to undertake the vermin-infested condition.
Despite this report, I did not find any im "When foreign workers finally became too sick to work or were com from there, they were sent to a camp at Friedrichsfeld.

Moreover, I know that these gentlemen "/signed/ Dr. Willhelm Jager."
THE PRESIDENT: We will adjourn now until two o'clock.
(WHEREUPON at 1235 the Tribunal recessed.)
Military Tribunal, in the matter of:
MR. DODD: May it please the Tribunal: We had just completed the reading of the affidavit executed by Dr. Wilhelm Jager at the noon recess. The conditions which were described in this affidavit were not confined to the Krupp factories alone but existed throughout Germany, and we turn to a report of the Polish Main Committee made to the Administration of the General Government Poland, Document R-103, which has the number 204 as its number for the U.S. Exhibit. This document is dated the 17th day of May, 1944, and describes the situation of the Polish workers in Germany, and I wish to refer particularly to page 2 of the English translation, starting with paragraph 2; in the German text it appears at page 2, paragraph 2, also. In quoting from the document, it reads:
"The cleanliness of many overcrowded camp rooms is contrary to the most elementary requirements. Often there is no opportunity to obtain warm water for washing; therefore, the cleanest parents are unable to maintain even the most primitive standard of hygiene for their children or often even to wash their only set of linen. A consequence of this is the spreading of scabies which cannot be eradicated.
"We receive imploring letters from the camps of eastern workers and their prolific families beseeching us for food. The quantity and quality of camp rations mentioned therein -- the so-called fourth grads of rations -- is absolutely insufficient to maintain the energies spent in heavy work. 3.5 kg. of bread weekly and a thin soup at lunch time, cooked with swedes or other vegetables without any meat or fat, with a meager addition of potatoes now and then is a hunger ration for a heavy worker.
"Sometimes punishment consists of starvation which is inflicted, that is, for refusal to wear the badge 'East'. Such punishment has the result that workers faint at work (Klosterteich Camp, Gruenheim, Saxony). The consequence is complete exhaustion, an ailing state of health, and tuberculosis.
The spreading of tuberculosis among the Polish factory workers is a result of the deficient food rations meted out in the community camps because energy spent in heavy work cannot be replaced.
"The call for help which reaches us brings to light starvation and hunger, severe stomach intestinal trouble, especially in the case of children, resulting from the insufficiency of food which does not take into consideration the needs of children. Proper medical treatment or care for the sick are not available in the mass camps." End of the quotation. the first paragraph. In the German text it appears at page 5, paragraph 1:
"In addition to these bad conditions, there is lack of systematic occupation for and supervision of these hosts of children, which affects the life of prolific families in the camps. The children, left to themselves without schooling or religious care, must run wild and grow up illiterate. Idleness in rough surroundings may and will create unwanted results in these children. An indication of the awful conditions this may lead to is given by the fact that in the camps for eastern workers (camp for Eastern workers, 'Waldlust', Post Office Lauf, Pegnits) there are cases of 8-year old delicate and undernourished children put to forced labor and perishing from such treatment.
"The fact that these bad conditions dangerously affect the state of health and the vitality of the workers is proved by the many cases of tuberculosis found in very young people returning from the Reich to the General Government as unfit for work. Their state of health is usually so bad that recovery is out of the question. The reason is that a state of exhaustion resulting from overwork and a starvation diet is not recognized as an ailment until the illness betrays itself by high fever and fainting spells.
"Although some hostels for unfit workers have been provided as a precautionary measure, one can only go there when recovery may no longer be expected (Neumarkt in Bavaria). Even there the incurables waste away slowly, and nothing is done even to alleviate the state of the sick by suitable food and medicines.. There are children there with tuberculosis whose cure would not be hopeless and men in their prime who, if sent home in time to their families in rural districts, might still be able to recover. No less suffering is caused by the separation of families when wives and mothers of small children are away from their families and sent to the Reich for forced labor." first paragraph. In the German text it appears at page 7, paragraph 4:
"If, under these conditions, there is no moral support such as is normally based on regular family life, then at least such moral support which the religious feelings of the Polish population require should be maintained and increased. The elimination of religious services, religious practice and religious care from the life of the Polish workers, the prohibition of church attendance at a time when there is a religious service for other people, and other measures show a certain contempt for the influence of religion on the feelings and opinions of the workers." End of quotation.
THE PRESIDENT: Can you tell us who the Polish Central Committee were; or, I mean, how they were founded?
MR. DODD: Well, insofar as we are aware, it was a committee apparently set up by the Nazi State when it occupied Poland, to work in some sort of cooperation with it during the days of the occupation. We don't know the names of the members, and we haven't any more specific information.
THE PRESIDENT: Is it a captured document?
MR. DODD: It is a captured document, yes, sir. All of the documents that I am presenting in connection with this case are, excepting the Netherlands Government's report and one or two other official reports, the Dois affidavit and such other matters.
That particular document, it has just been called to my attention, was captured by the United States Third Army. imported from the conquered eastern territories. As we have illustrated, they did indeed live in bondage, and they were subjected to almost every form of degradation, quartered in stables with animals, denied the right of free worship, and the ordinary pleasures of human society. Exhibit No. 205. This document, EC 68, bears the title "Directives on the Treatment of Foreign Farmworkers of Polish Nationality", issued by the Minister for Finance and Economy of Baden, Germany, on the 6th of March 1941. And we don't know his name, nor have we been able to ascertain it.
Quoting from the English text of this document from the beginning:
"The agencies of the Reich Food Administration State Peasant Association of Baden have received the result of the negotiations with the higher SS and Police Officer in Stuttgart on 14 February 1941, with great satisfaction.
Appropriate memoranda have already been turned over to the District Peasants Assocations. Below, I promulgate the individual regulations, as they have been laid down during the conference and how they are now to be applied accordingly:
"1. Fundamentally, farmworkers of Polish nationality no longer have the right to complain, and thus no complaints may be accepted any more by any official agency.
"The farmworkers of Polish nationality may not leave the localities in which they are employed, and have a curfew from 1 October to 31 March from 2000 hours to 0600 hours, and from 1 April to 30 September from 2100 hours to 0500 hours.
"The use of bicycles is strictly prohibited. Exceptions are possible for riding to the place of work in the field if a relative of the employer or the employer himself is present.
"The visit of churches, regardless of faith, is strictly prohibited, even when there is no service in progress. Individual spiritual care by clergymen outside of the church is permitted.
"Visits to theaters, motion pictures, or other cultural entertainment are strictly prohibited for farmworkers of Polish nationality.
"The visit of restaurants is strictly prohibited to farmworkers of Polish nationality, except for one restaurant in the village, which will be selected by the Rurual Councillor's office (Landratsamt), and then only one day per week. The day, which is determined as the day to visit the restaurant, will also be determined by the Landratsamt. This regulation does not change the curfew regulation mentioned above under No.2.
"Gatherings of farmworkers of Polish nationality after work is prohibited, whether it is on other farms, in the stables, or in the living quarters of the Poles.
"The use of railroads, buses or other public conveyances by farmworkers of Polish nationality is prohibited.
"Permits to leave the village may only be granted in very exceptional cases, by the local police authority (Mayor's office). However, in no case may it be granted if he wants to visit a public agency on his own, whether it is a labor office or the District Peasants Association or whether he wants to change his place of employment.
"Arbitrary change of employment is strictly prohibited. The farmworkers of Polish nationality have to work daily so long as the interests of the enterprise demands it, and as it is demanded by the employer. There are no time limits to working time.
"Every employer has the right to give corporal punishment toward farmworkers of Polish nationality, if instructions and good words fail. The employer may not be held accountable in any such case by an official agency.
"Farmworkers of Polish nationality should if possible be removed from the community of the home, and they can be quartered in stables etc., No remorse whatever should restrict such action.
"Report to the authorities is compulsory in all cases, when crimes have been committed by farmworkers of Polish nationality, which are to sabotage the enterprise or slow down work; for instance, unwillingness to work, impertinent behavior; it is compulsory even in minor cases. An employer who loses his Pole who must serve a longer prison sentence because of such a compulsory report will receive another Pole from the competent labor office on request with preference.
"In all other cases, only the state police is still competent."
"For the employer himself, severe punishment is contemplated if it is established that the necessary distance from farmworkers of Polish nationality has not been kept. The same applies to women and girls. Extra rations are strictly prohibited. Noncompliance to the Reich tariffs for farmworkers of Polish nationality will be punished by the competent labor office by the taking away of the worker." will to serve as domestics, and the Defendant Sauckel described this program in his own words, which appear in Document 016-PS, already offered in evidence as U.S.A. Exhibit 168. 016-PS, and particularly page 8, fourth paragraph of the English text; in the German text it appears at page 10, paragraph 1, and I quote directly:
"In order to relieve considerably the German housewife, especially the mother with many children, and the extremely busy farmwoman, and in order to avoid - "
THE PRESIDENT: You are reading page 7, not page 8.
MR. DODD: I am sorry, 7.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes.
MR. DODD: Page 7.
"In order to relieve considerably the German housewife, especially the mother with many children, and the extremely busy farmwoman, and in order to avoid any further danger to their health, the Fuehrer also charged me with the procurement of 400,000 - 500,000 selected, healthy and strong girls from the territories of the East, for Germany". in Germany, these Eastern women, by order of the slave-master Defendant Sauckel, were bound to the household to which they were assigned, permitted at the most three hours of freedom a week, and denied the right to return to their homes.
I now refer to document No. 3044 (b) PS. That is U.S.A. Exhibit No. 206. The document is a decree issued by the Defendant Sauckel containing instructions for housewives concerning Eastern household workers, and I ask that the Court take judicial notice of the original decree which appears on pages 592 and 593, of the second volume of a publication of the Zentralverlag of the NSDAP, entitled "Verfuegungen Anordnungen Bekanntgaben," and I quote from the first paragraph of the English translation of a portion of the decree as follows: "There is no claim for free time. Female domestic workers from the East may, on principle, leave the household only to take care of domestic tasks."
THE PRESIDENT: On what page are you reading.
MR. DODD: Page 1 of the English text, No. 3044 (b)PS, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, I have got it.
MR. DODD: "as a reward for good work, however, they may be given the opportunity to stay outside the home without work for 3 hours once a week. This leave must end with the onset of darkness, at the latest at 2000 hours.
and similar establishments provided for German, or foreign workers. Attending church is also prohibited. Special events may be arranged for Eastern domestics in urban homes by the German Workers' Front, for Eastern domestics in rural homes by the Reich Food Administration with the German Women's League. Outside the home, the Eastern domestic must always carry her work card as a personal pass. Vacations, return to homes. Vacations are not granted as yet. The recruiting of Eastern domestics is for an indefinite period." End of quotation. and the tortue of the concentration camps. Like other major programs of the Nazi conspirators, the black-shirted guards of the SS, and Himmler's methods of dealing with the people were the instruments employed for enforcement. 1942 issued by Reichsfuehrer SS Himmler to SD, and security police officers concerning Eastern workers spells out the violence which was applied against them.
I offer this order in evidence which is our document 3040 PS, which is USA Exhibit No. 207, and I ask this Court to take judicial notice of the original order, which is published in the "Allgemeine Erlassammlung," Part II, Section 2-A, Roman numeral III, small letter "f", paragraph 15 to 24... pages rather fifteen to twenty-four, and I wish to quote from page three of the English Text starting with paragraph, Roman number III; the German text it appears in section 2-A, Roman number III, "f", at page 19 of the publication as follows:
"III Combating violations against discipline.
(1) According to the equal status of the manpower from the working place.
Violations against discipline, including work secret State police.
The smaller cases will be settled by the enclosure.
To break acute resistance, the guards shall be per mitted to use also physical power against the manpower.
But this may be done only for cogent cause.
The manpower should always be police has to act with its means.
Accordingly, they will be treated, Special treatment is hanging.
It should not take place in the im mediate vicinity of the camp.
A certain numer of manpower from treatment; at that time they are warned about the circumstances reasons of camp discipline, this is also to be requested."
VI; in the German text it appears at section 2-A, Roman numerals III, "f", on page 20.
"VI. Sexual Intercourse.
Soviet Russian territory. By means of their closely confined quar camp for female manpower."
and finally from page five of the same document, paragraph Roman number VIII, and in the German text it appears at section 2-A, Roman numberal III, "f", at page twenty-one:
"VIII, Search.
Furthermore, search measures are to be decreed locally. When the entire slave labor program was, of course, to compel the people of the occupied country to work for German work economy. The decree by which Sauckel was appointed Plenipotentiary General for manpower reveals that the purpose of the appointment was to facilitate acquisition of the manpower required for German war industries, and in particular the armaments industry, by centralizing under Sauckel responsibility for the recruitment and allocation of foreign labor and prisoners of war in these industries. I refer to document bearing our number 1666-PS. This document is a decree signed by Hitler, Lammers, and the defendant Keitel, and it is dated 21st day of March, 1942, appointing the defendant Sauckel the Plenipotentiary General for the utilization of labor.
I ask that the Court take judicial notice of the original decree, which is published at page 179, Part I, of the 1942 Reichsgesetzblatt; referring to the English text starting at paragraph 1, as follows, and quoting directly:
"In order to secure the manpower requisite for the war industries territories should be mobilized.
Reichsstatthalter and Gauleiter utilization of labor.
In that capacity he will be directly responsible to the Commissioner for the Four Year Plan."
"Section III (wages) and Section V (Utilization of labor) of the accomplishment of his task."
Sauckel's success can be measured from a letter which he himself wrote to Hitler on 15 April 1943, and which contained his report on the one year of his activities. We refer to document as No. 407-PS, Roman numberal VI, which bears USA Exhibit No. 209. I wish to quote from paragraphs 6 and 9 on page one of the English Text; in the German text it appears at page 2, paragraphs 1 and 2:
"After one year's activity as Plenipotentiary for the Direction of of this year.
The 3,638,056 are distributed amongst the following branches of the German war economy.
Armament - 1,568,801." labor is found again in a report of the Central Planning Board, to which we have referred so many times this morning and yesterday. Another meeting of this Central Planning Board was held on 16th day of February 1944, and I refer to our document R-124, which contains the minutes of this meeting of the Central Planning Board, and which has been already offered in evidence as USA Exhibit No. 179, and I want to refer particularly to page 26, paragraph 1 of the English text of the document R-124. It is at page 16, in paragraph 2, the German text quoted from the English text:
"The armament industry employs foreign workmen to a large extent; according to the latest figures - 40%." No. 197, records that according to Speer Ministry tabulations, as of 31 December, 1944, approximately two million civilian foreign workers were employed directly in the manufacture of armaments and munitions (end products or components). That the bulk of these workers had been forced to come to Germany against their will is made clear by Sauckel's statement, which I previously quoted from paragraph 3 of page 11, of document R-124. We quoted it this morning, the statement being that of five million foreign workers less than two-hundred thousand -- or only two-hundred thousand came voluntarily.
ment of foreign labor to construct military fortifications. Thus, citizens of France, Holland and Belgium were compelled against their will to engage in the construction of the "Atlantic Wall", and we refer to our document 556-PS-2, which is USA Exhibit No. 194. This is the Hitler order dated 8th day September 1942, and it is initialed by the Defendant Keitel.
Quoting the order directly which said:
"The extensive costal fortifications which I have ordered to be erected in the area of Army Group West make it necessary that in the occupied territory all available workers should be committed and should give the fullest extent of their productive capacities. The previous allotment of domestic workers is insufficient. In order to increase it I order the introduction of compulsory labor and the prohibition of changing the place of employment without permission of the authorities in the occupied territories. Furthermore, the distribution of feed and clothing ration cards to these subject ot labor draft should in the future depend on the possession of a certificate of employment. Refusal to accept an assigned job, as well as abandoning the place of work without the consent of the authorities in charge, will result in the withdrawal of the food and clothing ration cards. The GBA (Deputy General for Arbeitseinsatz) in agreement with the military commander, as well as the Reich Commissar, will issue the corresponding decrees for execution." tribution of the forced labor program to the construction of the Atlantic Wall by the Defendant Speer's Organization Todt. And we refer to document 407-PS VIII, which is U.S.A. Exhibit No. 195. This document is a letter from the Defendant Sauckel to Hitler dated the 17th day of May 1943. And I refer to the second and last paragraphs:
"In addition to the labor allotted to the total German economy by the Arbeitseinsatz since I took office, the Organization Todt was supplied with new labor continually. Thus the Arbeitseinsatz has done everything to help make possible the completion of the Atlantic Wall." compelled to build fortifications to be used against their own countryment.
