The Führer has wished that on January 3rd l943 the special promotions of deserving party members should be excluded and that the achievements of the past 1 0 years should be pointed out. For this reason, the proposals for promotion submitted in accordance with the order "The Reichsführer-4" of December 28th 42 are not currently being processed. However, it is intended that the proposals for the promotion of Führer should be submitted to the Reichsführer-4 at 2o.4.43 insofar as they fully meet the requirements of the above-mentioned order. It is at home that these promotions are to be awarded to 2o.4.43 under its own jurisdiction. However, the suspension is also here that they are fully in accordance with the command of 28.l2.42. In order to eliminate any ambiguities, it should be noted that 1.) the suitability for the proposed rank must be fully given, 2.) the digits I, 1 and 2 and 3 of the command constitute a prerequisite for each promotion, 3.) the "cooperation" after the seizure of power" or. "Employment in the Homeland War" in No. I, 2 of the command in its performance assessment must be fully equivalent to the third advance: "EK I as a man or sub-leader". 4 The head of the four-person head office WM J.d.d -Brigadeführer and % day7.22 Major General of the Weapons-4, $\C-3d/41}
