[trans…] portation of arms or ammunition is prohibited. Neither must they be employed for the transportation of material destined for fighting troops. The labor offices give all the information required.

2. Prisoners of war must not be employed where the danger of sabotage, espionage, and the undermining of the morale of workers exists. Generally in such cases, the regulations issued for the employment of foreigners apply. The labor offices give all the information required.

3. The prisoners of war must — as far as possible in any way — be separated from other workers in the plant and work in separate departments. They must not work together with other foreigners. If employed in the main plant they must at all costs be escorted back into their isolated living quarters immediately after work.

4. Accommodation must, as a rule, be provided for the prisoners of war and the guards by the plants, in accordance with the standards prescribed by the military authorities.

V. Execution of Assignment 
 
1. The prisoners of war will be allocated to the places of work by the Stalags in cooperation with the labor offices. The labor offices competent for the particular camps have established a liaison office at the Stalag. This liaison office, in cooperation with the Kommandantur, is responsible for the occupational registration and the assignment of prisoners of war to working teams and for the allocation of working teams to the employers. Prisoners of war may be allocated to employers only with the consent of the labor office competent for their works. Applications for the allocation of prisoners of war must be submitted to the labor office competent for the plant (the place of work) — for work other than agricultural a form is to be used which is obtainable at the labor offices. The application must give all the necessary information for an allocation of prisoners of war, showing: name of plant, number, and type of prisoners of war required, type of work to be performed, duration of work, working conditions, and arrangements for housing and feeding.

2. Wherever possible, the prisoners of war are to be assigned according to their own trades. Miners, forest workers, and skilled and unskilled construction workers in particular will be registered separately. Members of these trades are, in principle, only to be employed in their respective trades, i.e., in mining, forestry, and building.

3. The basis for the allocation of prisoners of war for work is a contract to be concluded between Stalag and the employer.
