The Führer has wished that on January 3rd l943 the special promotions of deserving party comrades should be excluded and that the achievements of the past few years should be pointed out. The proposals for promotion submitted according to the order "Der Reichsführer-4" of December 28th 42 are not currently being processed for this reason. However, it is planned to submit the proposals for the promotion of Führer to the Reichsführer-4 at 2o.4.43 insofar as they fully meet the requirements of the above-mentioned order. The proposals for promotion for 4-men and 4-sub-leaders will be returned to the services in the next few weeks. It is at home to express these promotions to the 2o.4.43 in its own jurisdiction. However, the suspension is also here that they fully correspond to the command of 28.12.42. In order to eliminate any ambiguities, it is pointed out that 1.) the suitability for the previous rank must be fully given, 2.) the digits I, 1 and 2 and 3 of the command are a prerequisite for each promotion, 3.) the "cooperation" after the seizure of power" or. the "Arbeits im Heimatkriegsgebict" in No. I, 2 of the command in its performance assessment against the third advance: "EK I as a man or underleader" must be fully equivalent!. The head of the # personnel head office M MIV 4-Brigadeführdr and Major General of the Weapons-4.
