Milch: I would simply say: You will get two people for one of this kind.
Speer: The French firms know exactly who is a smelter among the prisoners of war. There you should make it appear, as if they would be released. They give us the names and then we take them out. Try it.
Rohland: That’s an idea.
Milch: We in the Luftwaffe and airplane industry will also try to find out: Who is a roller, smelter, or furnace mason.
Rohland: But by the time the people arrive, the quarter of the year will be over.
