English Translation

In the same way as Central Division III 3, Unit III 3 of the upper sections of the SD must be informed of all direct or indirect external links with the upper parts of SD. The entire service of the substantive departments of the SD upper sections with the Central Division III 3 of the Security Main Office must be carried out through Unit III 3 in the SD Upper Sections. All foreign messages resulting from the foreign connections left in the future with the SD upper section must be sent to the Central Division III 3 of the Security Main Office by means of Unit III 3 to the SD Upper Sections by way of service, since a forwarding to the relevant substantive department of the Safety Main Office must be carried out by the Central Section III 3. Such international arrangements for the processing of which the SD upper section is responsible for which the notification is made shall be notified to the Central Division III 3 of the Safety Main Unit in writing so that the Central Section III 3 receives an overall overview of the existing international links and of the material procured in this way. As has been the case since then, the responsible department of the SD divisions is reported to the relevant department of security department by way of the foreign reports. Therefore, the notification to Central Division III 3 of the Security Division does not exempt the relevant division of the SS sections from the task assigned to it. Such international reports, for whose processing the substantive departments of the SD sections are responsible, must be accompanied by the addition, when informing the Central Division III 3 of the Main Security Office, that a bearing service is already being carried out at the SD-OA.
