Re:
Jews in the Occupied Eastern Territories
...The
struggle against Bolshevism demands ruthless and energetic
action, and first of all against the Jews as well, as the main
bearers of Bolshevism.
There
will, therefore, be no cooperation whatever between the
Wehrmacht and the Jewish population, whose attitude is openly
or secretly anti-German, and no use is to be made of
individual Jews for any preferential auxiliary services for
the Wehrmacht. Under no circumstances are papers to be issued
by Military Offices to Jews confirming that they are employed
for purposes of the Wehrmacht.
The
only exception to be made is the use of Jews in specially
organized labor columns, which are only to be employed under
German supervision.
It
is requested to make this order known to the troops.
