Excerpts Copy OV aud dem Reichs-Verkehrs-Blatt - Ausgabe B 3 Motor vehicle licence for foreign civilians and prisoners of war. Berlin, the 24th Nevember J942 K 1. 26 077 In summary, the cancellation of all opposing decrees, including the non-published circulars, is determined: I. Foreign civilians may acquire the German driver licence pursuant to §§ 4 ff and 15 Stvzo; they may also obtain the driving licence for the General Government and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Mühren in accordance with the regulations in force there. 2.) Excluded from the charge referred to in paragraph 1 are references which are obliged to bear the sign "East". "East workers may, however, be admitted as tugboat drivers on farms and forestry farms after obtaining the driving licence required for this purpose, provided that they are accompanied by a supervisor or otherwise guaranteed permanent supervision. 3.) As far as the other workers from the East are concerned (cf. (a) Common provisions of the Reichsführers- und Chefs der Deutschen Polizei on the acquisition and use of labour forces from the Federal Republic of Germany (S IV 208/42) of 20 February 1942) have been imposed a residence restriction, a driving licence may only be granted for this area. At the border of the territory) can only take place after consultation of the local police authority of the place of residence; always a supervisor must be attached if war or even important journeys do not have to be made due to a lack of a supervisor. 4.) In the driving licence, members of the protection must be specifically identified by the words "protector" with a parenthesis of the region of origin, e.g. "(integrated eastern regions)", "(Untersteiermark)" or "(Oberkrain)" in red. 5.) In principle, the driving licences of foreign civil persons should not be issued for the whole Reich area, but should be limited to the necessary transport area of the place of residence. Exceptions to this limitation shall be permitted only with the consent of the competent State Police Department, insofar as they are not nationals who are drivers by means of the mediation of the service of the "deputy officer".
