English Translation
14 - 2 - 3. Particular attention should be paid to all attempts to influence other people in the public sphere - hospitality, public transport, etc. - in the popular and rich sense. Likewise, against any attempt to form associations and circles to spread such views and messages in the sharpest possible way, there is an attempt to establish associations and networks. If the conditions of the public or the formation of a circle are met, the suspects must be arrested in any case. 4. After the arrest of a suspect person, all investigations necessary for the most complete clarification of the case must be carried out immediately. In this case, the documents available at the state police (headquarters) and at the SD subsections and by interviewing suitable guarantee persons - including during inquiries by the local party departments - must be determined as thoroughly as possible on the basis of which general attitude and for what specific reasons the persons concerned have acted. If so, report immediately to the head of the security police and ask for a decision on the further treatment of the arrested persons, as, if necessary, on higher instructions, brutal liquidation of such elements will take place, 5. People who, not intentionally, but for excusable reasons, have been guilty of derailment, must, after in-depth examination of the matter, be presented personally to the head of the state police department, who has to instruct and admonish them in detail. This instruction and encouragement is to take place in a form which achieves a mental orientation and an inner reinforcement of the people. Although there is no doubt that more stringent measures are to be expected in the event of repetition, it is not the mere intimidation and deterrence that should result, but the conviction and the inner establishment.
