English Translation

h/ - 3 - A test stone for the old age of the officer and his evaluation by the simple man are the mood statements that reach the home in field mail letters or by vacationers and there, according to the attitude of the official, either perform valuable educational work and can arouse increasing trust or cause considerable damage. A few letters containing complaints concerning the preference of officers and non-commissioned officers in the allocation of food, branded goods, in the distribution of accommodation and winter clothing, in hospital treatment, leave of absence, etc., have been able to act adversely for the maintenance of discipline, mood, trust and thus for the force's strength. The personal bond between O f i z i e r u n d M a n is best shown in a frank outrage. The officer, even if he is still young, has to show his subordinates openness and empathy. Thus, for example, complaints about the distribution of holidays will be stopped immediately when open about the nature of the holiday arrangements are discussed. The officer must always have an open ear for every man and strive on his own for confidenceful pronunciation. By all means, the so-called "Uffz-Economy" must be combated, which prevents the man from getting to his boss at all without the knowledge of the group leader and main sergeant. This applies not only to the combat force, but also to the relentlessness of relations with each other and strengthens the bond without regard to time of day, location and situation. This warning strikes particularly backward force and services behind the front. It is not the hard struggle and the firm service, but the lack of care and injustice towards the team that cause complaints and complaints.
