English Translation

- 28 - 33 44. § 1 of the WehrkraftschutzVO. of 25 November 1939. The term "institutions" which serve the German national defence does not only cover the institutions directly needed by the Wehrmacht, such as means of communication, among other things, not only stocks of equipment and equipment items, but also the machines and equipment of the companies which manufacture Wehrmögen. The owner himself may also be the perpetrator. § 1 para.1 of the WehrkraftschutzVO. aims for the duration of the present war to ensure the foundation of the armor completely. On the other hand, sick § 2 applies exclusively against the so-called Sachsabotage, without deposing the danger of the German Wehrmacht's defeat. In any case, this fact requires deliberate action. It cannot be assumed that the VO., which in its section 1 also threatened the German Wehrmacht's ability to strike by intentional and frivolous action with punishment, did not want to extend this protection to the establishment of the armaments industry, whose violation by light-handed action could endanger and harm the Wehrkraft Doutschland to a greater extent than dic damage or faulty production of a defence in the narrow sense (Volksgerichtshof DJ 1942, 1o5). The chief of the Hauptamt 4-Goricht Scharfe 4-Obergruppenführer and General of the Arms-7. for the correctness: heopeol -ObersturmführER.
