However, the experience has shown that an effective fight against sabotaging by courts is not possible at all and especially by the Wehrmascht courts. In the majority of the large and consequential sabotage cases, some of which are listed in Annex I, the nature of the matter means that the investigation of the actual perpetrators is almost hopeless, so a judicial atonement is not possible. The measures taken by the secret state police in the context of the possibilities available to them so far in such cases have so far served their purpose in the case of isolated sabotage files, but can no longer suffice in the swelling of sabotaging cases+ These measures, which consisted of arrests of persons from suspected perpetrators (communists, Czech chauvinists) and circles responsible for the affected objects, have, if they existed in arrests only for a short period, had the effect that the prisoners who returned to their home country were particularly celebrated as martyrs.
