</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=3 color="#333333">The
Night and Fog Decree (Nacht-und-Nebel Erlass) was issued by the Führer on
</font>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.<br><br>

</b></font><font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=3>Directives for the
prosecution of offences committed within the occupied territories against
the </font>GermanState or the occupying power, of December 7th,
1941:<br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=3>Within the occupied
territories, communistic elements and other circles hostile to
</font>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.<br><br>

President George W. Bush,</font>January 28, 2003:<br>
</b><font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=3>"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 </font>United States and our friends and
allies." (Applause)<br><br>
