2C Decree of the leader SAWBSOVSA OBSRON I have commissioned the Reichsminister für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda und Reichspropagandaleiter der NSDAP. Dr. Goebbels to carry out a comprehensive propaganda action against Schleich- und Austauschhandel. A prerequisite for the success of this propaganda action is, among other things, the exemplary attitude of all leading figures in the state, party and Wehrmacht to the war set and regulations against. I expect them to take into account, in their official and personal conduct, any restriction which the war will entail for our people in its long term on an increasing scale, with the utmost precision and as a matter of course. No one has the right to see the person in any way through such requirements, which are war-related and war-necessary. I expect every man to feel in this greatest time of our history by exemplary attitude also in this relation and thus give an example to the people. Führer-Hauptguardtier, the 2l.
