English Translation

- 67 - 55 the office IV in the Reichsssicherheitshauptamt. While the Soviet-Russian militia, which, as already stated above, can be compared with the German order police, includes the criminal police, the resident-reporting offices, the Stan- desamt and PaZabteilungen, the latter institutions in the realm are z.P. Independently (criminal police) or other authorities affiliated (status offices). The internal troops in charge of the protection of the industry perform approximately the same tasks, which are intended in the Reich area to the factory protection organizations. The main administration of the fire brigade does not require any special emphasis for comparative purposes. It is appropriate to note here that the entire fire brigade in the Reichsgebiet is only recently subordinated to Reichsführer 4 and head of the German police. The head administration of the Chausseen and streets, which has only recently been attached to the NkwD, is therefore obviously only for independent administration within the NKwD. It has probably been attached to the NKwD for the reason that it is able to take full advantage of the cheap labour from the forced labour camps.
