THE PRESIDENT: We have had the relationships between Sauckel and Speer gone into elaborately.
DR. SERVATIUS: Yes. I will withdraw that question.
[Turning to the witness.] What did the offices have to do with the employment of concentration camp prisoners? Did they deal with that?
STOTHFANG: No.
DR. SERVATIUS: Did you not receive reports that manpower was disappearing from other industries, and in this way became concentration camp workers?
STOTHFANG: No reports were received about that.
DR. SERVATIUS: Are you aware that concentration camp workers were employed in large numbers for work?
STOTHFANG: It was the general practice of the Police to put prisoners to work.
DR. SERVATIUS: You did not receive any reports about that, did you?
STOTHFANG: No. An effort was made to gain influence to the extent of having reports sent to the offices of the labor administration concerning the employment of concentration camp prisoners, so that they could be considered in the general planning of labor allocation. But these reports were not received by the labor offices.
