I don't have any books with me here in the office, so I must rely on
memory for the facts.
Paul Mackin writes:
"Everyone knows Jewish slave labor was used in the production of the
rockets."
Was it?
My understanding is that the inmates at Dora, and before that, Pennemunde,
were exclusively non-Jewish mostly Slavs at PM and also German homosexuals
at Dora.
Jewish slave labor was, of course, used at the Mauthausen quarry, IG
Farben's Auschwitz plant, and all across Speer's economy, but I believe
that the direct manufacture of the rockets and their components/ fuel was
done by others.
Is there anyone out there with a book on the rocket program or the labor
camps who can verify this?
