In Martinek and Bronder, two months of detention each were counted on the recognized prison sentence, one month and four weeks with Karl Luck. In accordance with the case officer for mercy matters at the Gauleitung Sudetenland of the NSDAP. I did not find any special reason to strongly advocate for the approval of Gna- denden. The misconduct of the three convicts is all the more reprehensible as the perpetrators would have been obliged to be exemplary in their attitude and conduct with regard to their position as civil servants at the Reichsprotector of Bohemia and Kähren. Therefore, the recognized penalties do not seem excessive to me. In the present situation, it would also in itself be necessary to ensure the full enforcement of the recognized phereits-criminals.
