Document Sauckel-84 is a manifesto which has already been presented in detail.
Document Sauckel-85 shows the generally valid and binding principles followed by Sauckel, all of them well-known principles. The main fact is that after 1943 they showed the same tendency as they had before.
Document Sauckel-86 is a later speech—a speech of 24 August 1943—to the presidents of the Gau labor offices. Here again in his speech to the responsible Gau labor presidents Sauckel stresses his basic attitude, as he has often stated it here. He adheres to the same attitude on 17 January 1944—that is, Document Sauckel-88—when he again emphasizes to these presidents, that:
“The foreign workers must be treated better. The reception camps are not to be primitive; rather they must be a recommendation for us.”
And at the end:
“The more I do for the foreign laborers working in Germany, the better I treat them, the more I influence them—the greater the extent of their available production capacity.”
And that was shortly—2 months—before he succeeded in putting the other foreign workers on an equal footing with the German workers.
THE PRESIDENT: We have heard the Defendant Sauckel explain...
DR. SERVATIUS: I beg your pardon?
THE PRESIDENT: ...that the work was carried on. And will you tell us where the group of speeches—how far does the group go?
