34a III. Einsaz of the order police in the besenesten Gebiéten. a) General government. After the completion of the military operations in Poland, the governor-general took over the administration of this area. Jhm was subordinated to the higher j- and police leader East, who in turn is under the command of the Order Police for the duties of order police. The assigned forces of the police are: 4 police regiments with 13 pol. battalions and 1 mounted section, 40 gendarmerie trains with a total of 2,285 men, individual service of the fire police in strength of 400 men, 1 NSKK-Kurierkompanie in Krakow. The tasks of the police in the General Government are the maintenance of calm and order, the fight against the trade in sheepmeat and the price increase, the disarmament of the population, the relocation from the Reich and into the Reich, and large guarding tasks, above all for the security of the oil areas within the framework of the four-year plan. In addition, there is the constant support of the German administrative authorities in their daily work. These tasks are so large and so important that the city and district heads in the general government repeatedly place new demands on further possession of police forces. b) Norway. In Norway, 6 police bataillons are under the command of the Order Police Commander, who is under the authority of the Higher FZ and Police Chief of the Reich Commissioner for the occupied Norwegian territories. These police battaillons have extensive police duties in close cooperation with the Wehrmacht forces, especially in the border guard service. The tasks are much more difficult due to the climatic conditions of Norway and the necessary entrance of well-trained police forces. c) Holland. 5 police battalions are available to the commander of the police, who is under the supervision of the higher j- and police leader of the Reichskomissar for the occupied Dutch territories. These police battalions, in addition to the maintenance of calm and order, have to carry out guarding tasks, above all for companies important for the military economy. In addition, they are heavily immersed in the air shot and with the fire-gun police forces in the fight against the fires caused by air attacks, especially with petrol and Slanlagen. d) Lorraine. Three police battalions are under the command of the Higher Jj- and Police Chief Saar-Lothringen at the head of the civil administration in Lorraine. They have the same tasks as the settled battalons in Holland. In addition, it would only be worth mentioning the measurement of a police border and the securing of the mine-infested areas. The establishment of the individual service and the general German police administration so far required the entrance of 30 officers and 434 men. e) Alsace. The higher J- and police leader South, who is under the head of the civil administration in Alsace, is the commander of the order police. 3 police battalions, which have to perform the same tasks as the police forces in Lorraine, are available for his police duties. 57 officers and 704 men have been assigned to establish the individual service and the necessary police administrations. 44580
