English Translation

- ll - lll. Reichsarbeitsdienst und Wehrdienst are the high school of education of the German people for readiness for action and will to fight. The member of a foreign group, if he has grown up within it, can not be expected a full commitment for Germanism. This is why, in the future, compulsory employment and conscription should be abolished, as already for the Jews, as well as for all German-Jewish hybrids and the members of the foreign groups. It can be at most that racially in itself resistant foreign people, in which there is an interest for integration into the German people, are admitted to voluntary service of labour and military service. For the state members who are not liable for military service in this sense, a special duty may be created in accordance with the Wehrmacht or the Reich employment service, which, however, is not associated with any education to the German people and German people or ethnicity. In times of war it is then necessary to make provision that such servants do not receive the same rights (e.g. support sentences) as the members of the Wehrmacht, the Reichsar- bei- erdienst, and that they do not take more advantage of our own conscripts. Wehrwillige from families of the inter-classes of the Volkischen in the old kingdom could be treated as Germans as a rule. If there is real repopulation, then the facts of foreign-Völkish ancestors must not touch the familiarity and defenceworthiness. However, military practicability alone does not prove a national value and political reliability (cf. the Poles in the imperial army before and after World War II!). 12. Position within the framework of special imperial laws. All the laws and regulations of the Reich, which are intended to secure the people's fundamental values, are to be granted exclusively to the German people. It is absurd to grant them also to members of non-German ethnicity. Children's and educational allowances from any means, marital status loans, settlement allowances, housing mediation for children's rich, special discounts for children ' rich (e.g. school leave) and similar measures are applicable to German nationals - 12 -
