7 open insurrection of the population or a craziness must be continued. The church should not under any circumstances get the impression that it has now received a free letter for its decomposition work. With these individual measures e.g. application for transfer to a concentration camp a strict standard can be applied without any doubt. In all these individual cases, however, it is necessary to obtain the authorization to punish the Reichsssicherheitshauptamt, in particularly urgent cases by Blitz-FS or telephone call. The imposition of security money against the confessional opponents must be applied to a greater extent than before. In this context, it is pointed out once again that the approval of the RSHA is not required for a sum of up to 3000 RM. 3)In particular, it should be ensured that the authorities do not now regain those positions which they have lost in recent years. Any relaxation of measures already taken must be undermined. All ecclesiastical attempts to reconquer the already lost positions are to be reported quickly, so that the corresponding countermeasure can be advanced. Already confiscated monasteries or other ecclesiastical objects will not be returned to the dirfon in any way. 4)In the near future, the main emphasis of church intervention must be placed on the activity of the ministry and on the natural collection. A complete collection of material with the corresponding original documents must be available over the entire highly reliable activities of the churches in the present day. Photocopies of the het- cerical pastoral letters, the original texts of the Hetzpredigen, protocol-arranged hdtzeribeh-Ausserungen picture documents, photocopy of flight notes etc. must be carefully collected. Our news apparatus within the church circles must be built with the greatest intensity. Of particular importance is also the determination of the cross-links from the church circles to state and party posts.
