"You must remember that you are entering a National
Socialist country whose living conditions are very different to those
to which you have become accustomed. You must be tactful with the
inhabitants, adapting to their customs and refrain from the habits
which you have come to love so much. Food: Do not rip up the
parquet or other kinds of floor, because potatoes are kept in a different
place. Curfew: If you forget your key, try to open the door with the
round-shaped object. Only in cases of extreme urgency use a grenade.
Defence against Partisans: It is not necessary to ask civilians the
password and open fire on receiving an unsatisfactory answer. Defence
against Animals: Dogs with mines attached to them are a special
feature of the Soviet Union. German dogs in the worst cases bite,
but they do not explode. Shooting every dog you see, although
recommended in the Soviet Union, might create a bad impression.
Relations with the Civil Population: In Germany just because somebody
is wearing womenapos;s clothes does not necessarily mean that she is a
partisan. But in spite of this, they are dangerous for anyone on leave
from the front. General: When on leave back in the Fatherland take
care not to talk about the paradise existence in the Soviet Union in
case everybody wants to come here and spoil our idyllic comfort.apos;"
