Schmelter: * * * Dorsch will accompany me to Greiser to try and get 20 to 30 thousand men out of him.

Reich Minister Speer: Kammler had his doubts about that before.

Representative of Kammler: He didn’t think the 100,000 Jews would come.

Schmelter: To that I can add the following. Till now two transports have arrived at the SS camp Auschwitz. For fighter construction we were offered only children, women, and old men with whom very little can be done. * * * Unless the next transports bring men of an age fit for work the whole action will not have much success.
