“He has been a good comrade.”
“People with a disorder of the stomach, as we know from experience, are inclined to be disgruntled.”
“He may have been annoyed about a certain phrase in the radio lecture in question.”
“He had to suffer under the Jewish boycott movement during his activities abroad.”
(That should rather be a reason for more severe punishment).
“The accused has been happily married to her husband, a veteran of the movement. She maintains she also got along very well with her husband as far as political matters were concerned.”
(That, too, in consideration of the grave utterances—OJs. 275/44—should not serve as an extenuating but as an aggravating reason, as on account of living together with a veteran of the movement, the woman should have been better educated than others in National Socialist sentiment and thought.)
Please discuss the sentences as well as my opinion about them in the proper way with the judges and public prosecutors in question, and see to it that in all cases of undermining the military efficiency the required severe punishment will be meted out in your area, too.
Acting
Klemm
