111 III A , 4 May 1943. Gehei m! V e r me r k. I. Betr.: Case F o l t a . The question raised by Gauleiter Jury on the Folta case, whether iy group leader K.H.Frank was entitled to give a "warning" to Folta as a higher 4y and police leader or as Secretary of State, was h.E. according to the situation of the case not necessary at all and also does not apply in the answer made by Gauleiter jury. For, as the draft letter from J-group leader K.H.Frank to Folta shows, this person should not receive a "jurisdictional" "warning" but was only pronounced to him a "warming" less on a legal, but more on a personal level (in the draft, therefore, also the originally used term "warnness" was replaced by "warnishing".) Even if one would see in it a "jurisdictional "measure, this is legally not to be objected due to the "institutional empowerment" of the security police. (See Annex). After that, the security police, by order of the leader, must protect the German people's order in its own way against all interferences of a political-police or purely criminal nature and take the necessary measures to do so. According to the é-group leader K.H.Frank on Folta, he had to assume that he took action against a measure taken by the Reich Protector as the representative of the leader in this room and was therefore entitled and obliged to take action against it on the basis of his position as Higher Iy and Police Leader, whether Folta was a sovereign or not.
