This document consists of top secret notes on Goering's instructions as to the employment and treatment of prisoners of war in many phases of the German war industry. So far a total Of 5,000,000 prisoners of war- employed so far 2,000,000. In the Interior and the Protectorate it would be ideal if entire factories could be manned by Russian prisoners of war except the employees necessary for direction. Order by the Fuehrer to investigate all mines as to suitability for employment of Russians, at times manning the entire plant with Russian labourers. Railroad repair and industry workers are to be sought out from the prisoners of war.
Railroad is most important means of transportation in the East.
Preferably factories of armour and guns. Possibly also construction of parts for aeroplane engines. Suitable complete sections of factories to be manned exclusively by Russians. For the remainder, employment in columns. Use in factories of tool machinery, production of farm tractors, generators, etc.
