Every single laborer counts!
The checking must be taken up at once. All withholding of prisoners qualified for work is prohibited. My approval is required for exceptions.
3. The prisoners who are committed to concentration camps till the 1 Feb 1943 will be seized under reference to this decree, solely according to a list (present number, first and second name, place of birth and date, residence, reason for arrest with short commentary). One list will be sent to the Reichs security headquarters as a collective request for both protective custody as well as for commitment to a concentration camp, for which the confirmation can be assumed.
In regards to eastern workers, that is to say for such workers who have to wear the insignia "EAST", it is sufficient to give the total number of the arrested.
One copy goes with the transport to the commander of the concentration camp, and another copy remains with the authorities who are making the commitment.
In order to facilitate the necessary exploitation, the lists are to be made up on single pages and in such a way that enough space be left between the data of the individual prisoners, so that the lists can be cut out.
The lists are to be sent to the Reichs security headquarters, Referat IV c 2.
