ROSENBERG: I did not receive a letter in reply to it; but I heard that Sauckel, then at a meeting of his labor offices in Weimar, went into these complaints in detail and that he tried to do his best to remove the grounds for these complaints.
DR. SERVATIUS: Did not that meeting take place a fortnight later, that is on 6 January 1943, and were you not present also?
ROSENBERG: Possibly. I spoke at a meeting at Weimar once; whether or not it was this one, I am not able to say.
DR. SERVATIUS: Did you hear Sauckel’s speech at this meeting?
ROSENBERG: No, I have no recollection of it.
DR. SERVATIUS: Did you get the speech in writing later?
ROSENBERG: I cannot remember that either.
DR. SERVATIUS: Later on I want to submit the speech as a document in connection with Sauckel’s case. I have a number of further questions.
Did other departments, too, in the occupied territories, concern themselves with the recruitment of laborers?
ROSENBERG: Yes, I received indeed some reports that also, for its part, the so-called Todt Organization engaged workers for the carrying out of their technical tasks, and I think also the railway administration and other offices in the East were making efforts to get new workers for themselves.
