DECREES OF THE DEPUTY OF THE FUEHRER [Anordnungen des Stellvertreters des Fuehrers], an official collection of party decrees from 1933 to 31 March 1937, published in book-form by the Central Publishing House of the NSDAP, Franz Eher Successor, Munich in 1937, Pages 257-258.
Circular Nr. 24/36
The Head of the Main Security Office [Chef des Sicherheitshauptamtes] issued the order, of which copy is enclosed, to all subordinate offices on 8 December 1935.
3237—PS
The Deputy of the Fuehrer expects that party offices will now abandon all distrust of the SD and will support it wholeheartedly in solving the difficult tasks with which it has been entrusted in order to protect the Movement and our people.
*******
Because the work of the party is primarily benefited by the work of the SD, it is unadmissible that its expansion be upset by prejudiced attacks when individuals fail. On the contrary, it must be wholeheartedly assisted.
