PS-1638: Directive on Cooperation of the SD with the Authorities of the General Civil Administration

1938 REICHS MINISTERIALBLATT, iV, PAGE 1906
Cooperation of the Agencies of the General and Interior ' Administration with the S.D. of the Reichsfuehrer SS (SD) of 11 Nov. 1938
(1) The Security Service of the Reichsfuehrer SS (SD) has, as the intelligence organization for Party and nation—in particular for the support of the Security Police—important missions to fulfill. The SD thereby becomes active on a national mission. This necessitates a close and sympathetic cooperation between the S.D and the authorities for general and internal administration. Therefore, inquiries of the SD are to be answered in the same way as inquiries of all national office are treated. Likewise, the sections of the SD are obligated to furnish information to the general and internal administration.
(2) Business between the SD and the Reich Ministry of the Interior proceeds solely through the Chief of the Sicherheitshauptamt, business between the SD and the remaining authorities of general and internal administration only through the higher levels of the SD. Business between the authorities for general and internal administration of the SHA proceeds through the Reich Ministry of the Interior, business between the authorities for general and internal administration and the other SD offices in Prussia through the Regierungs-Praesident or Ober-Praesident, in the other provinces through the corresponding authorities. In doubtful cases the combined decision of the Reich Ministry of the Interior and of the Reichsfuehrer SS should be obtained.
Supplement for municipalities, municipal groups, other corporate bodies of the public law: I request, to act accordingly.
To lower authorities municipalities, municipal groups, other corporate bodies of the public law.
