Subject: Observation and fight against communist and Marxist decomposition From this point of view, attempts by the communist-Marxist side to decompose and paralyse the will of the armed forces become particularly important. It is a fact that, since the outbreak of war, the enemies of the state of all shadings consider the time has come to accept their decomposition by word of mouth, the distribution of illegal leaflets, leaflets and gluing leaflets with the prospect of success, by affixing ungrateful inscriptions, by spreading revelations, etc. The main substance for this anti-state activity is the content of foreign broadcasts and press reports and of discarded enemy flyers. This criminal project is favored by a certain nervousness and partly also dissatisfaction of parts of the population who have not yet recognized the seriousness of the time and who place their personal well-being above the fate of the general public.
