According to a press release published by the Reich Minister of the Interior, all nationals of the United States over 15 years of age must report to the nearest local police authority within 24 hours. The personal reporting obligation must be adapted to the circumstances of the individual case. In general, the requirement of a weekly one-off notification will suffice. In the event of non-compliance with this requirement, the inter- nation should be threatened orally. Further measures, such as police custody, internment, etc., are to be avoided, pending further express instructions. The American nationals arrested by the state police are to be taken over by the Oberlandrats. They must be treated as civilian interns and, if possible, not placed in police prisons.
