English Translation

From this position of the Prussian Secret State Police, the Prussian Supreme Administrative Court concluded that their orders were subject to the same control as the orders of the ordinary police authorities. Accordingly, it stated that orders of the Secret State Police Office or its auxiliary bodies, the State Police Department, were still valid in the administrative proceedings in accordance with §§ 45 et seq. of the Prussian Police Administration Act. The Prussian Supreme Administrative Court did not see any reason to decide otherwise if . The Preußische Oberverwaltungsgericht (Prussian Supreme Administrative Court) changed its position on the basis of the Act on the Secret State Police of 30.11.33 (2). Since the secret state police were organized under this Act as an independent branch of the internal administration, theirs became. They now assumed the character of so-called special police authorities. §§ 45 ff of the Prussian Police Administration Act applies only to the ordinary police authorities, not also to the police authorities of Sonder- derpolizei. The Preußisches Cberverwaltungsgericht now stated that these provisions could no longer be applied to orders of the authorities of the secret state police, so that such orders in the administrative proceedings could not be challenged on the basis of these provisions. Since the administrative review of such injunctions is also permitted in the law of 30.11.33, all orders of the authorities of the secret state police are from now on, according to the enumeration principle in force in Preu- Ben, to the administrative dispute 1) Law on the establishment of a secret state policing office of 26.4.33 (GS.p.122), Decree of the PrMdI. Reorganisation of the Political Police of 26.4.33 (MBliV.I, p.503). 2) GS. p. 413.
