14 (10) Chemnitz, 1 November 1944. Reichsssicherheitshauptamt II B 4 Nr. 3023/44 - 211.-5- Kronenstrasse 2o I. aant To the subordinate departments of Sicherheitstgnov1944 and SD - Distributor E Unit II C 3 in the H a u se with the request to forward the accompanying 5• prints to all RSHA departments in which non-official drivers are employed. The Reichsversicherungsamt - Abt, für Unfallversicherung - had previously decided several times that the inability to safely guide a motor vehicle caused by alcohol consumption had the driver's release from service to service. Thus, any accidents were not recognized as service or operational accidents. The injured drivers or, in the event of their death, their survivors were denied protection by law. Now the Reichsversicherungsamt also refused the accident pension to the widow of a criminal assassin (driver), who had been in the service of the security police, after the Krininal employee had died on a journey with the service cars after drinking alcohol. It is requested that all non-official members of the security police and the SD, who are authorised to drive service vehicles, or to whom this power will be shared in the future, be informed about this matter. It is recommended that the instruction be repeated in auspicious periods - approximately annually. Chief and Certified: Kohl Lawyer. 2 0 Ber Ch Siderdelts polls 1 uud des 50. . 58 7 44 $\8-56/44
