7 copy. The Reichs- und Preußische Minister des Inneren Berlin, 13 November 1937, Pol.0.-Kdo._g_1_Nr.537 For the Mob case, it is necessary to place all forces under the command of Reichsführer W and chief of the German police (order police, security police, "associations") within the armed forces under a common leader. In agreement with Mr Reichskriegsminister and Chief Commander of the Wehrmacht, I therefore order for the Mob-Pall the establishment of a "Higher 4 and Police Leader" in each Wehrkreis. The higher 4 and police leaders will be determined by the Reichsführer 4, and chief of the German police, who also makes orders about their participation in the mob transits in peace. The position and integration of the Higher 4 and Police Leader into the Reichsdefense Organisation of the general and internal administration within the Wehrkreisen will be regulated in due course.
