138 gendarmerie according to the received qualification list to the younger guards a bad example, which also showed up in the city police corps, when he was hired for some time as a guardroom manager. The third assigned Gendarmeriewachtmeister was punished by the Division Court for gross behaviour against his superiors after his gendarmary qualification list and even after the recent experiences could not be expected with him as a guardroom manager. The present war conditions required and require that an organ be employed as a watchroom manager, which knows the regulations and the local conditions precisely and, above all, also completely masteres the German language, because it is constantly in contact with organs of the Wehrmacht and the Reich police. In the police corps, guards with more than 2o years of service are in the rank of staff guards and among them are individuals who fully master the regulations, are very well qualified and have sufficient knowledge of the German language. One of them is the Stabswachtmeister Bernhard Hofmann, who has attended the German elementary school and whose wife is German ethnicity. In the condition that the ban on promotion will be lifted from 1 January 1994l, Hofmann registered for the examination for the appointment to the I.Class and passed this examination with very good success. No one requested to transport Hofmann, which meant the transfer to the first class; only the application was made to the head of the guardroom and therefore to the city police station in charge of the service.
