expected to follow them to the letter or face serious punishment.
1. While fighting for victory the German soldier will observe the rules of
chivalrous warfare. Cruelties and senseless destruction are below his
standard.
2. Combatants will be in uniform or will wear specially introduced and
clearly distinguishable badges. Fighting in plain clothes or without
such badges is prohibited.
3. No enemy who has surrendered will be killed, including partisans and
spies. They will be duly punished by courts.
4. P.O.W. will not be ill-treated or insulted. While arms, maps, and
records are to be taken away from them, their personal belongings
will not be touched.
5. Dum-Dum bullets are prohibited; also no other bullets may be
transformed into Dum-Dum.
6. Red Cross Institutions are sacrosanct. Injured enemies are to be
treated in a humane way. Medical personnel and army chaplains may
not be hindered in the execution of their medical or clerical activities.
7. The civilian population is sacrosanct. Neither looting nor wanton
destruction is permitted to the soldier. Landmarks of historical value
or buildings serving religious purposes, art, science, or charity are to
be especially respected.
8. Neutral territory will never be entered nor passed over by planes, nor
shot at; it will not be the object of warlike activities of any kind.
9. If a German soldier is made a prisoner of war he will tell his name
and rank if asked for it. Under no circumstances will he reveal to
which unit he belongs, nor will he give any information about German
military, political, and economic conditions.
10. Offenses of duty will be punished. Enemy offenses against the principles
under 1 to 8 are to be reported. Reprisals are only permissible on order of
higher commands. (33)
The only exception to these rules of conduct was in dealing with the murderous
Communist Partisans who refuse to recognize rules of warfare. For this reason,
non-uniformed Partisan prisoners who refused to surrender were sometimes
hanged or shot as war criminals, not as legitimate POW’s.
