| Subject: Special Treatment for
foreign workers Reference: Decree of 20 June 1944 Enclosures: None In all cases of special treatment, whenever an immediate removal to a concentration camp for the purpose of easing the shortage of space is not possible a request is to be made to the Reich Security Main Office for permission to carry out the executions on the spot with the explanation that the carrying out of the execution must take place here for the deterrent effect and because of the impossibility of removal of those concerned by train. The execution itself is regulated according to the decree of 20 June 1944. The report of the execution to the RSHA shall not divulge the technical nature of the execution because Berlin prescribes the gallows on principle. The execution is to be reported approximately as follows: |
|
"In agreement with the inspector of the Security Police and the SD [Security Service] for the Military District VI in Duesseldorf, the special treatment approved by that office and to be carried out in concentration camp so-and-so has been executed. This action has been taken because of the impossibility of removal of those persons involved, and to prevent escapes which have occurred in some instances from police prisons and other penal institutions." |
