From Nurnberg, on 10 September, Hitler issued an order bringing the Reichsarbeitsdienst, the German labor service, under the OKW. This top secret order, of which 25 copies were made, provides as follows:
“1. The whole RAD organization comes under the command of the Supreme Command of the Army effective 15 September.
“2. The Chief of OKW decides on the first commitments of this organization in conjunction with the Reichs Labor Leader (Reichsarbeitsfuehrer) and on assignments from time to time to the Supreme Commands of the Navy, Army and Air Force. Where questions arise with regard to competency he will make a final decision in accordance with my instructions.
“3. For the time being this order is to be made known only to the departments and personnel immediately concerned.
“(signed) ADOLF HITLER.”
