6-2 Guardians of the irreproachableness of melancholy derailments, youthful recklessness, foolish implications, as long as they did not suggest a bad character, but he was inexorable in his judgment when he had to establish a character-like inferiority or a dull arrogance. He never judged the deed as such, but always the man who committed it. He kept and treated everyone as a man of honour, as long as the opposite was not shown to him with full certainty. Always the fate of the families, which had been hard-kept by sometimes decisions, was at his heart. Necessary rigor and kind goodwill were added in him in a happy way as in every real leader. It was his heavy duty to watch over the irreproachability of the 2 at the side of the Reichsführer. Even blameless, an exemplary leader and good comrade, he did so, justly and impartially, and he was therefore respected everywhere. With the introduction of the special criminal justice in 1939, 4-Upper Group Leader Scharfe was placed before new great tasks. It was not only necessary to form as quickly as possible a suitable judge corps, but also to clarify the necessity of this new institution to the entire leader corps and to repair it to make proper and moderate use of this last and sharpest breeding material. It was not only necessary to ensure that national socialist law and police were heard in the judicial capacity, not only to ensure the uniformity and uniformity of the case law, but above all to minimise criminal liability from the outset.

The type 1⁄2 judge, on which he formed, 'was the overcoming of the outdated jurist and had nothing to do with the idea, which associated itself with the "Court of War" usually. The 4-judge, as he strived for him, had to think first politically, then be able to feel soldatically and finally also completely dominate his craft as a true right. He wanted the leader of the army and the head of the department to sharpen his instincts for whether a breach of duty had to be criminally punished or could be disciplinaryly punished, and that he knew which way he had to go in one case and the other. Through lectures at the 2/-Junkerschulen and in the troupe and not at all through these "Grey Messages", which he founded, has been enlightening and instructing in his mind in this direction. 75
