6 Copy of I 2 = 7560/204 g The Reich Minister and Chief Berlin, 23 February 1945 of the Reich Chancellery Rk. 228 E g Seheim To the Supreme Reich Authorities Secret! Betr.: Distribution of secret matters and secret Reichssachen. The publication of a German secret letter by the Reuter agency has given the Führer permission to again insist on the unconditional observance of his fundamental order of 25 September 1994l. The Führers decided that a large-scale distribution of secret matters, in particular secret imperial matters, was generally completely wrong. He had always pointed out that only the one who absolutely must be informed should be informed. Today, secret Reichssachen was given out and passed on much too lightly. The Führer has ordered that his instructions of 25 September 1994 be re-emphasised once again to all the places in question for this purpose. I would like to ask you to arrange for further work to be carried out in your area of business.
