“German law was introduced, and Polish law germanized.”
I omit the entire section of the report which deals with this subject and continue the quotation on Page 51 of the Russian text. The Tribunal will find it on Page 129 in the document book in the third paragraph of the text under “Judicial Murders.” That is Page 129, the third paragraph of the text. I begin the quotation:
“a) On 4 December 1941, Göring, Frick, and Lammers signed a decree referred to above which virtually outlawed all Poles and Jews in the incorporated Polish territories. The decree made Poles and Jews a different and second-rank group of citizens. It meant that Poles and Jews were obliged to obey the Reich unconditionally; but on the other hand, as second-class citizens they were not entitled to the protection given by law to others.”
I omit one paragraph and I continue the quotation of the part which deals with the application of death sentences. It begins this way:
“Death sentences could be passed in the following cases:
“1. For removing or publicly damaging posters set up by the German authorities.
“2. For acts of violence against members of the German forces.
“3. For lowering the dignity of the Reich or harming its interests.
“4. For damaging furniture to be used by the German authorities.
“5. For damaging things intended for the work or public order.
