By my order of 9 June 1934, the Security Service
of the Reichsfuehrer SS has been established as
the sole political news and defense service of the
NSDAP, its components and joint associations.

The SD-RF SS is also an establishment of the
Party. The SS as a component of the Party is to
keep up and carry on this establishment [Traeger

personnel.
