On behalf of the Führers, I referred in my circular 171/44 of August 6, 1944. In 1944, it was pointed out that all the leading men of the movement had to give our people a clear example of dedication, extreme diligence and never-ending commitment. The leader ordered: The seriousness of the time did not allow the NSDAP's underleaders to participate in hunting invitations of any kind.

Therefore, as I say after information and with the approval of the Reichsjägermeister H. Göring, all political heads and underprivileges of the nSDAP are. Participating in hunting invitations of all kinds prohibited. Owners or tenants of a hunt can hunt in their own territory. e.g. M.Bormann.
