According to written instructions that I received from the Central Administration, under the present necessary conditions, Greek nationalist feelings might turn fanatic.
Hence, in the case of even the least resistance, each soldier must do his duty by murdering a great number of these people. The homeland orders it.
You should not fail in your duty. Each soldier is obliged to kill four or five Greeks for the good of our homeland.
I am obliged to make this written order known to the Central Administration, and I am at the disposal of anybody who might request verbal clarification.
It's compulsory for each soldier to carry our these instructions
