11. Guide to discretionary removals or exclusions
The eradication of nazism and militarism will require the elim-
iation and exclusion from any positions of control or influence
of persons likely to perpetuate an undemocratic tradition. In ad-
dition to the persons coming within categories listed in paragraph
10 and therefore subject to compulsory removal, the following
types should be closely examined:
a) Career officers of the German Armed Forces including the
former Reichswehr.
b) Persons who represent Prussian Junker tradition. These per-
sons are difficult to define correctly. Information as to any
individual, however, which shows him to have been a mem-
ber of an aristocratic Prussion or East Prussian, Pomme-
rarian, Silesian or Mecklenburg family, or of one which is the
owner of extensive property in Prussia, or that he was a
member of any of the elite German University Students Corps
(such as the Bonner Borussen or all corps belonging to the
Kosener SC), or a member of any of the East Prussian or
Silesian Landesmannschaften, should be given careful con-
sideration; such individuals are likely to merit removal or
exclusion as they are' likely to perpetuate the German mili-
taristic tradition.
12. Discretionary Removal and Exclusion Categories
The list given hereunder should be consulted in determining
whether or not persons not included under para 10 above or other-
wise prescribed fall within the category of strong nazi sym-
pathizers or persons hostile to Allied purposes:
