English Translation

If a notification is not possible before the connection is initiated, it shall be reported here immediately after initiation in accordance with the given guidelines. It goes without saying that even such newly notified connections will only be connected to the central network in individual cases from here and that a corresponding instruction will then be given in individual case. They will therefore continue to be subject to the SD-OA until the acquisition by III 3. As regards paragraph 3, the following information is communicated: requests for information from external departments are answered in principle, as has been the case since then, by the SD-OA department. If implementation is not possible within the framework of the Aiberprifing links left there, a corresponding communication shall be sent to Division III 225 of the SD Hauptamt, either . Judernteablen on the basis of the available material issued the necessary information, or corresponding orders to the Central Department A. A elediyen: lung III 3 of the SD Head Office. The Central Department III 3 will make the necessary enquiries through its existing nets. The SD-OA informs the requesting departments of the result in the individual cases. A direct communication of the services in the area of the SD-OA Elbe by the Security Main Office as a central office is not likely to be expedient. Division III 225 will issue the necessary orders by means of the procedure of the requests given here. The Chief of the Security Chief Office 4 1.A. $\\ The Head of the Defense Office to M &.
