This monitoring must not only cover producers, distributors and consumers with regard to the exact compliance with all the rules of war, but must also reveal errors and misconduct, which unfortunately have already occurred with the organizations and associations responsible for the re-management, the circle of activities of the gendarmes, police and municipal police, which have moved to the village, and the precise knowledge of the local conditions associated with it, must result in effective monitoring when the personal responsibility of the individual organs is established. To this end, a rapid, reliable and uniform management of this tight surveillance network, which spans the country as a whole, must be carried out by your person, and this brief summary should only show you the basic guidelines of your task. I look forward to a personal presentation on the specific implementing provisions and instructions to the subordinate bodies.
