Note 88 — I. GENERAL SLAVE LABOR PROGRAM IN GERMANY (continued 2)

After Dr. Bergold read this document into the record he made the following statement (Tr. pp. 520-521):

“Which proves that until March 1943, the commanders in the conquered territories were opposed to the labor conscription, and that it was Sauckel who demanded that this opposition be removed, because he was of the opinion that foreign people had to produce the same as the German people. It is further important that he didn’t declare that to the Fuehrer alone but also to the defendant [witness] Speer and the defendant Milch. Accordingly, the defendant [witness] Speer later on will attest that never before have foreigners been treated so fairly. In other words, he lied to the men who were to work with him.”
