1. Still to be worked out are only minor improvements of the method.
2. Already today it could be put to practical use in the course of our regular eugenic sterilization and could thus replace the operation.
As to the question which you, Reich Leader, asked me almost one year ago, i. e., how much time would probably be required to sterilize 1,000 women by using this method. Today I can answer you with regard to the future as follows:
If my researches continue to have the same results as up to now—and there is no reason to doubt that—then the moment is not far off when I can say:
“One adequately trained physician in one adequately equipped place, with perhaps 10 assistants (the number of assistants in conformity with the speed desired) will most likely be able to deal with several hundred, if not even 1,000 per day.”
Please permit me to postpone my report about the other part of my researches (positive population policy) because it will take some time until something decisive can be said in this field.
Reich Leader! The main reason for my reporting to you today, shortly before the possibility of even more final results, is the following:
I know that the settlement of the last part of this particular complex of problems—in contrast to the external forces which determined the progress so far—depends now almost entirely on me. In this connection, several minor but nevertheless fundamental changes would be necessary which only you, my dear Reich Leader, can personally direct and order. I had hoped that I would be able to give you personally a short description of these requirements in the event of a visit to Upper Silesia. Since I have not had this opportunity, I am asking you for your decision today.
In addition I should like to make a further request. It was SS Brigadefuehrer Dr. Blumenreuter who finally managed to get me the one suitable X-ray installation. I am in urgent need of another installation of the same kind, and he informed me in February that he had another one stored in Berlin. He was ready to deliver it to me if I would secure your approval.
May I ask you, Reich Leader, for this approval?
