22 Under the authority of the enacting orders, it is therefore ordered that in the future the sentences should be executed in the place of residence or, in all the more severe areas, the execution of the Z 'eoke must be suspended in order to give the convicted person the most difficult conditions during the war in a penal camp. In addition, there is still the possibility of suspension of the sentence until the end of the war, but this must remain a rare exception. In detail, the following must be observed: 1. Transition of the execution to the general judiciary. If the prison or otherwise is recognized as unfit for military service, then there is no room at all for a suspension of sentences, but the full settlement (applies to the allemeine Judiciary). During the war in the prison camp 3sterwegen in the Emsland under the most severe conditions and let the prison start only after the end of the war (see release from 5.3.40). 2. The detention in the penal camp under suspension. It is carried out in the Dachau Penal Camp (not to be confused with the concentration camp there), which is now built. Rather, the latter begins only after the end of the war, so that the condemned person cannot be punished at a time when all decent Germans on the eusseren and inner front fulfil their duty to defend the empire. 259
