Govt. and the Tactical Troops is comparatively good; the Field Service Officer is helpful. 3. The relationship between the Team and tbe DPs appears to me to be very good and the attitude ot all the Team members to­ wards the DPs cannot be criticized. There 1s an wxcellent \ DP committee :f'unct1oning and the community is largely aelt­ governing. Almost every aspect or camp life is manage4 by the DPs themselves and the results of this are very good. At the same time the Team exercises supervision over the whole com­ munity and successf'ully controls and directs policy. 4. Examination of the supply aystem has so far shown that supplies are handled properly and that distribution is just. Becords are properly maintained. 5. ~he Director's reports are accurate. 6. I am pleased with the Team's performance. The members work well together under the direction or Mr. Czarnecki and seem to be contented. ·

Dr CTOR - can. 190. . I\ "£p ... 6 194 iJ-v TEAi, !lo 190 G ISLI:iGEN k:j 4th Septer.1ber 1945 From: !.Ir. C. D. L. Fraser, Field/ Supervisor, Gmund To: ?, r . Squadrilli. I visited this teem to-day ,,.i th the object of' becoming acquainted vii th the new· \ elf are Personnel and also in order that I might inspect some of the 1-µmbering operations• . I ,;;as struck with the personality of ·!iss Brown ,.,nd imagine she will do a very capable job assisted by lrs. Butczyncka. Afterwe.rds, I visited 4 of the gangs, each consisting of 10 men. There are 6 gar1gs al together but there ias no time to visit them all. I understand from the Director that he"could put into the forest 300 men but is sadly hampered by the la,.J.. of the rncessary tools. I believe axes Find cr·oss cut sa\·s can be obtained at Reimsheid, near Solingen in t'lespha .ia. This question is bein taken up with the Military Goverrlli1ent a ,GeisliJ.1gen by the Director. I cannot understand why all the gangs I visited ·.1ere ,.orr.,_ing in belts of deciduous hard1ood such as alder and beech. I did not see any work in belts or f'ir or pine. I shall ta e up this question \Ti th the Forestry Officer at / Stuttgart. It will• be necessa1.,y to furnish e.lJ. these men with good stout foot·iear, as soon as possible. Each gang. consists of 10 men, as I have said, undel" a Polish foreman and all gru1gs being co 1troled by a German Forestry Officer. It would appear that this rnan only con­ cerns hims ..... lf 1.d th the selection of the proper ti iber and with directions f'or felling it. There was ainple evidence that there was no supervision or D.dvise in the matte1" of the sharpening o:r the axes ru1d cross cut saus. Many axes ,ere loose i 1 the shaft havi ig been badly f'itted or having in­ suf'ficient ,-,edges. These axes had not been properly sharpened f'or timber \.ork. In the matter of the saws - these rere .not properly sharpened - neither was there enough "way" on them for cutting the class of timber 1u.entione · Insufficient files for · :hetting the tools were kept on the job, nor was there any paraffi or diesel oil :for cleaning vhe sa',s, the lack of these esse:,,1tia s 111akes the ,rork mmecessarily harder. The German Supervisor to hho I spoke on this matter seemed perfectly well aware of the state of aff'airs but- had

- 1 - ...... I

2 - done nothing to rectify it. I think that in the future he u ill cto so. I further noticed that the countr;-y- ii.1 \•hich these gru1gs 1.!ere i;orking was very precipitous ai-1d difficult, ( no doubt this has been arranged by the Burgomaster). Al1 the 11,en see1,1 very ha1Y~J Y in their \fork but e:>..'J)ect to receive better foot,.ear and more and better tools. There uas not a single peavey on al1.Y job. I ex-_plained the need :for these tools and I thillk some ,,ill be provided ilnrnediately. They are essential in handling timber especially in diff'icult country. It will be appreciated, no doubt, that the alrnost use must be made o:f available manpower 2.1 J.d that the use of mechanical means must not be lmdertaken­ vrhich is exactly the reverse in any corn11ercial contract.
