English Translation

In addition, it is necessary to check whether the establishments themselves are not able to collect the Polish labour force from the labour-education camps after the state police treatment has been carried out. Security police services in the General Government, which are not yet connected to collective transport, transferred to the next employment office for return to the Old Kingdom, if the possibility of special transport does not exist. However, in the accompanying order it should be expressly pointed out that the Poles are not to be brought directly to the re-employment, but must be transferred to the respective state police department of the abandoned place of work. B. Initiation of criminal proceedings against Polish civilian workers. In the case of civil workers who have committed a breach of their employment contract, refusal to leave the workplace, etc.), only state police measures - introduction of labour education or concentration camps - are punishable. The Minister of Labour of 15 June 1940 - III b - 392/40 g - instructed the Minister of Labor to not, in principle, make a criminal application in the event of a breach of contract to ask for intervention in the departments of the state police. In the case of all other criminal acts committed by Polish civil workers - including criminal ones - the investigative proceedings shall, in principle, first be directed to the permanent state police department, which shall, if necessary, be responsible for forwarding them to the judicial authorities. However, I do not have any doubts that a brief summary of the results of the investigation, e.g. a review of the final report, will be sent in order to reach the decision of the state police. Pest-absorbed Poles are to be kept in custody until the decision of the secret state police at the place of arrest - if possible in the police prison - is taken.
