Subject: Nacht und Nebel...

The Night and Fog Decree (Nacht-und-Nebel Erlass) was issued by the Führer 
on December 7, 1941 to seize "persons endangering German security," who 
were not to be executed immediately but were to vanish without a trace. It 
was applied against members of the resistance in western Europe. About 
7,000 people, mostly French resistance fighters, were murdered in this 
operation.


The Führer and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces:
[stamp] SECRET
Directives for the prosecution of offences committed within the occupied 
territories against the GermanState or the occupying power, of December 
7th, 1941:
Within the occupied territories, communistic elements and other circles 
hostile to Germany have increased their efforts against the GermanState and 
the occupying powers since the Russian campaign started. The amount and the 
danger of these machinations oblige us to take severe measures as a 
determent. . . .  Prisoners taken to Germany are subjected to military 
procedure only if particular military interests require this. In case 
German or foreign authorities inquire about such prisoners, they are to be 
told that they were arrested, but that the proceedings do not allow any 
further information.


State of the Union Message, President George W. Bush,January 28, 2003:
"All told, more than 3,000 suspected terrorists have been arrested in many 
countries. Many others have met a different fate.  Let's put it this way -- 
they are no longer a problem to the United States and our friends and 
allies." (Applause)
