At the slightest sign of unruliness and disobedience, ruthless action has to be taken, also fire arms have to be used relentlessly to break resistance. Escaping internees are to be fired at immediately with firm aim to hit them. Otherwise weapons are to be used according to legal rules valid for the police.

Entrance into the camp is permitted for duty only, otherwise with the permission of the camp leader.

Permission for relatives etc., to see the internees is given by the State Police in urgent cases only. Conversation can take place only in the presence of a supervisor. Items given on such occasions for the internee are to be turned over to the camp leader who takes further action.

In cases of air alarms, rules valid for the camp and the Krupp firm are applied. The internees remain in their quarters with the lights turned off until their transfer by the guards to the air raid shelter. In cases of willful violation of black-out regulations, or similar sabotage actions, firearms are to be used immediately. In case of fire the internees are to be used under the direction of the commander of the guard for salvage and fire fighting. Greatest care must be taken to prevent escapes.
