In order to be able to carry out the surveillance of the prisoners of war to a greater extent, the president of the government Opole was encouraged to engage the gendarmerie circle leaders more strongly. In agreement with the BdE, chief prisoner of war, I therefore issued the attached order to my commander of the POWs and commander of order police. Since it should also be in your interest to strengthen the surveillance of the prisoners of war as far as possible, I ask you to inform your police organs located in the Vill area accordingly and to extend this order to the whole Sudetengau, if necessary.
