The introduction of civilian courts martial in the Incorporated Eastern Territories is an old desire of the Reich Leader SS and was proposed in the draft of a decree of the ministerial council of the General Plenipotentiary for the Reich administration, dated 21 February 1940—compare Rk 3215 B-40—; see note of 27 February 1940. The introduction was rejected at the time on the basis of objections made by the Reich Marshal to civilian courts martial—compare Rk. 5026 B of 21 March 1940.

The Fuehrer’s decision corresponds to the desire of the Reich Leader SS as far as the Warthegau is concerned in the meantime. It is not considered advisable to report this to the Reich Leader SS unless the minister in charge has been notified of the Fuehrer’s decision. The Reich Leader SS further requests a copy of the comments of the Minister of Justice dated 17 April 1941—Rk. 5850 B.[338] He should be referred to the Minister of Justice concerning this request.
