- 2008 (first published 2000), Paul Carrell, translated by Kazimierz Szarski, Operacja "Barbarossa", Bellona, page 197:
- Wszyscy oficerowie wysyłani do Rosji byli przedtem zwalniani i oficjalnie skreślani z etatu. Wprawdzie obiecywano po powrocie ponowne wciągnięcie na etat, ale podstawy prawnej do tego nie było, w każdym razie za pomocą środków prawnych było to nieosiągalne.
- All the officers being sent to Russia were first dismissed and officially terminated from their job. In truth, they were promised renewed hiring in a full-time job after their return, but there was no legal basis for this; at least, this was unachievable by the use of legal means.
