Hitler Threats to Rule France and War Labor Demands
The International Military Tribunal heard Adolf Hitler threatened to rule France himself unless more slave labor was provided. Fritz Sauckel pressed Vichy officials to ship hundreds of thousands more workers to German war industries, blaming delays in France for Stalingrad. Sauckel admitted the remark but said he was echoing Hitler, not applying pressure. The trial includes a Paris meeting on January 11, 1943. Meanwhile US officials announced a June dairy price rise of about 250 million dollars annually, with planned butterfat controls and subsidies cuts to curb inflation and sustain milk production.
