_a._ In principle, the Fuehrer’s time is no longer to be burdened with these matters. _b._ The Reich Minister of Justice will decide whether and when special treatment at the hands of the police is to be applied. _c._ The Reich Leader SS will send the reports, which he sent hitherto to Reichsleiter Bormann, to the Reich Minister of Justice. _d._ If the views of the Reich Leader SS and those of the Reich Minister of Justice agree, the final decision on the case will rest with them. _e._ If their views are not in agreement, Reichsleiter Bormann will be asked for his opinion, and he will possibly inform the Fuehrer. _f._ In cases where the Fuehrer’s decision on a mild sentence is sought through other channels (such as by a letter from a Gauleiter) Reichsleiter Bormann will forward the report to the Reich Minister of Justice. The case will then be decided as already described by the Reich Leader SS and the Reich Minister of Justice. “2. Delivery of antisocial elements from the execution of their sentences to the Reich Leader SS to be worked to death. Persons under security detention--Jews, gypsies, Russians, and Ukrainians, Poles with more than 3-year sentences; Czechs and Germans with more than 8-year sentences--will be turned over without exception according to the decision of the Reich Minister of Justice. First of all, the worst antisocial elements among those just mentioned are to be handed over. I shall inform the Fuehrer of this through Reichsleiter Bormann. * * * * * * * “14. It is agreed that, in consideration of the intended aims of the government for the clearing up of the eastern problems, in future Jews, Poles, gypsies, Russians, and Ukrainians are no longer to be tried by the ordinary courts, so far as punishable offenses are concerned, but are to be dealt with by the Reich Leader SS. This does not apply to civil lawsuits, nor to Poles whose names are registered for, or entered in the German Racial Lists.”[39] We said at the outset that the defendants and their colleagues accomplished the complete overthrow of justice and law in Germany. The foregoing recital of the steps in this process and the proof to be introduced will, we think, make this abundantly clear. The Third Reich became a realm of despotism, death, and finally, of despair.
