The head of the security police and SD ttheo v oeh IV C 2 A11g.No. 656/42_g. in Bohmen uto Maheer Eing.: - 3. (e) 11 groups and units of Office IV of the Reich Security Main Office, sent to (f) Cher des t-Wirtschafts-Verwaltungsheuptants ii-Obergruppenführer Pohl, (g) all senior and police leaders, (h) i-wirtechafts-verwaltungshauptamt, Antgruppe D - Konzen-titionslager, in Öranienburg (with 30 prints for the camps), (i) Unit II C 3. Subject: Reinforced admission to concentration camps. Reference to my decrees of 17.12.1942 -IV 656/42 g- and 23.3.1943 -IV C 2 Al1g.No.656/42g- The derogation laid down by pre-described decrees, which has achieved the object for which it was accused, is hereby definitively repealed with immediate effect. I have had to confirm in the course of the admissions that the guidelines given have not been observed everywhere. Thus, despite the strict prohibition in some cases members of allied, friends or neutral states as well as young people were admitted to concentration camps, whose Rickiberetelleung again leads to difficulties and an inherently avoidable burden of reciprocity. I request that allegations, in particular those of such a diplomatic nature, be referred to the Court of Justice without delay and, if admissions have been made contrary to the rules, immediately - since the proceedings have already been divided up according to the general code of protection - be referred back to each individual case and, where appropriate, to the restitution of such inmates. This decree is not intended for: the county and local police authorities. Representing: e.g. M d l l e r. Che and certified: Pleeokt Bray Miarbeiter. B1. cc 20R// \C-135c/42
