Does anyone know where I might be able to obtain a copy or transcript in German of the Prussian Ministry of Interior order dated 25 February 1932 that issued the 1932 Instruction for the Prussian Police No. 40a: Administration and Maintenance of Weapons, Weapon-Related Technical Equipment, Ammunition and Bicycles of Police and Constabulary? Thanks to Joe Wotka, I have copies of relevant portions of Instruction 40a but I am interested in the contents of the order that issued it. I am confident that it exists because it is referred to by date in several respected publications. I want to determine if the issuing order contained any reasons why it was issued. This could be very important in interpreting some of the Prussian police unit markings.
