(Io) Secret ! Mr. 4411/41 go. (X) Bln.-.chöneberg, d. 29.12.1941 Balonsche Str., 51 B.tr.'s execution of Death Strafan to Soviet prisoners of war. In a case in which Soviet war had been wreaked to death by the judgment of a Vn. court and the judgment was to be executed by Strans, there appeared rare two-faces, when Henl:er should be used for the drying-up of the punishment. In order to rule out these doubts in case of minor cases, vird therefore ordered: If a death sentence is to be executed against a Soviet war fan- genon by don Strang, then the commander of the prisoner-of-war camp among the Soviet prisoners of his leger should seek to gain suitable people for the execution of this execution, who are to be compensated for in some way (money, lebon stringel, etc.). If none of the prisoners of war are willing to do so, then the sentenced person of the nearest department of the Geheinen Staatspolizei shall be deemed to be responsible for the execution of the sentence, since this may be in a position to have the sentence carried out by foreign prisoners in custody, and Bine execution by doutsee Vehrnacht's members is out of the question.
