Ja, de internerade var arbetskraft och det rimmar dåligt med verkligheten att arbetsgivaren skulle ha ihjäl de som producerar det han behöver.
Om man ska ha ihjäl folk är det väl bättre att de arbetar sig till döds om de är arbetsdugliga?
Det var ju så tyskarna tänkte...

Letter from Generalkommisar for White Russia, Wilhelm Kube, to Reichkommisar for the Ostland, Lohse, 31 July 1942.
'The Good Old Days' - E. Klee, W. Dressen, V. Riess, The Free Press, NY, 1988, p. 180-181:
During the course of extensive discussions with SS-Brigadef�hrer Zenner and the very competent Leiter of the SD, SS-Obersturmbannf�hrer Dr. Strauch, it was established that we have liquidated about 55,000 Jews in the past ten weeks...
Naturally the SD and I would prefer to eliminate the Jews in the Generalbezirk of white Russia once and for all as soon as the Jews are no longer needed by the Wehrmacht for economic reasons. For the time being, the Wehrmacht's requirements, as the principle employer of Jewish labor, are being taken into account.

Reichskommissar for OstlandRiga, December 2 1941
IIa diary No. 220/41g
The Chief Quartermaster (Chiefintendant) of the Wehrmacht Command in Ostland has lodged a complaint that armament plants and repair workshops have been deprived of Jewish skilled workers through their liquidation, and that they cannot be replaced there at the present time.
I request most emphatically that the liquidation of Jews employed as skilled workers in armament plants and repair workshops of the Wehrmacht who cannot be replaced by local personnel be prevented.

The Goebbels [Reich Propaganda Minister] diaries, March 27, 1942.
The Goebbels Diaries 1942-1943 - L.P. Lochner, Doubleday & Co., 1948, p. 147-148:
Beginning with Lublin, the Jews in the General Government [Nazi occupied Poland] are now being evacuated eastward. The procedure is a pretty barbaric one and not to be described here more definitely. Not much will remain of the Jews. On the whole it can be said that about 60 percent of them will have to be liquidated whereas only 40 percent can be used for forced labor.
