2 68 A leading position and a key position, with the approval of the Reichsdefense Commissar, are offered to another Kv.- or GvP-suitable conscript of the vintages l897 and younger in exchange. If a conscript of the years mentioned above as a specialist in a leadership and key position should not be expendable and not replaceable even if the highest standards are applied, and if the Wehrmacht cannot be offered an additional conscript from the years l897 and younger to fulfil the obligation to apply even after compensation within the Reichsdefendungsbezirk, the Reich Defence Commissioner shall have the opportunity to file an in-depth reasoned objection against the convening of this expert in the individual case with the competent military commander. If the Wehrkreiskommandber does not remedy the opposition, the opposition must be submitted to the General Plenipotentiary for the administration of the Reich. The opposition has suspensive effect with regard to the convocation. Objections for members of the 19l4 and younger generations are inadmissible. 5. Objectations must be limited to exceptional cases. In the examination of the irresponsibility in the war operation of the homeland, the Reich Defence Commissioners shall use the guidelines given in the circular issued by the Reich Minister of the Interior of 3o.l.43 - I Ra 3168/43 II - 265. 6.
