“11. Apart from the 13.8 million women at present employed, a
further 3.5 million unemployed women, who are listed on the card
index of the population, can be employed.
“2 million women would have to be redirected; that is, a
transfer can be made to agriculture and to the metal and
chemical industry, from the textile, clothing, and ceramic
industries, from small trading, insurance and banking
businesses, and from the number of women in domestic service.
“12. The lack of workers in agriculture, from which about 25
percent of the physically fit male workers will be withdrawn,
must be made up by women (2 in the place of 1 man) and prisoners
of war. No foreign workers can be counted on. The Armed Forces
are requested to release to a great extent owners and
specialists such as milkers, tractor drivers, 35 percent of whom
are still liable for call-up.
“13. The President emphasized that factory managers, police, and
the Armed Forces must make preparations for the employment of
prisoners of war.
“14. In the agricultural sphere preparations must also be made
to relieve bottlenecks by help from neighboring farms,
systematic use of all machines and laying in stocks of spare
parts.
“15. The President announced that in wartime hundreds of
thousands of workers from nonwar industries in the Protectorate
are to be employed under supervision in Germany, particularly in
agriculture. They are to be housed in barracks. General Field
Marshal Göring will obtain a decision from the Führer on this
matter.”
