English Translation

32a 3.) In the case of the locks it is necessary to distinguish between main locks, pre-locks and sham locks. Tasks: Main lock must stop tanks, therefore there also focus of the lock. Pre-lock should enable quick closing of the main lock. Counterlocks have the purpose to deceive opponents about number, installation and type of locks and to delay its action. However, they only fulfil their purpose if they are repeatedly coupled with active or passive defenses (Pz.Faust, Pz.Schreck, Pak, Mines). 4.) Frequent change of the type of lock to the deed of the opponent is to be sought. Position of the lock must be chosen in such a way that it acts as a surprise. 5.) Urgency of construction of barriers: In general, in full width and depth - in the case of lack of labour on the hostile edge of the barrier zone - the local popular storm and popular envoy must begin construction of the barriers. The focus is to be formed by additional forces (soldiers, OT, etc.) at the main barriers or barriers (location points, narrows) and on the main roads. 6.) The few mines available must be used primarily where roads are to be kept open in whole or in part (in the case of pre- and main locks for closing) 7.) Locking is carried out according to OKH/Gen d Pi u Fest/ Abt.L (III) Az. 39 s No. 700/45 g. of 30.1.45 and OKH / Gen d Piu Fest No. 100a/45 of 20.2.45 30812
