Apart from this it is desirable to educate the judges more and more to a correct way of thinking, conscious of the national destiny. For this purpose it would be invaluable if you, my Fuehrer, could let me know if a verdict does not meet with your approval. The judges are responsible to you, my Fuehrer; they are conscious of this responsibility and are firmly resolved to discharge their duties accordingly.
I feel that it is my duty to you, my Fuehrer, to bring it to the attention of the judges if a decision does not conform to the opinion of the State leadership.
Heil, my Fuehrer!
