44 - 2 - Evidence for the teachings can be found in the sent out leaflets on enemy propaganda and in the article "Only a cavalier crime?" in the material for the spiritual support of the troops of the l4.l.l940 (see press service of the W.B. episode :i0 from l.II.l940 page 36i). In addition, the following remark is useful: The main means of the opponents in the fight against the psychic resistance of our people is the radio. Whoever, as a German soldier, exposes his soul and his spirit to this hostile propaganda weapon, commits mental self-mutilation. It is no less contemptible than the cowardly physical self-steering. If instructions and warnings do not come to fruition, it is the duty of everyone to report to the next disciplinary officer." (Ic/W.Pr.Az. I A 1 k. of 9.2.4C.) 2.) Secrecy of troop transports.
