| The seriousness of the fight for
existence of the Reich demands of every German determination to fight to the
last, and devotion to the utmost. Whoever tries to withdraw from his duties
towards the common cause, especially if it is done through cowardice or for
personal profit, must at once be called to account with the necessary severity,
so that the State will not suffer damage through the failing of one single
person. Therefore, the following has been decreed upon the order of the Fuehrer
in agreement with the Reich Minister and chief of the Reich Chancellery, the
Reich Minister of the Interior and the chief of the Party
Chancellery |

| Courts martial are to be
established in Reich defense district which are menaced by the approach of the
enemy. |
