Order by the commander of the Red Army Unit I and II, Marl, March 28, 1920

Since we have already had to deal with unauthorized acts committed by irresponsible individuals all along the front, I repeat clearly that these individuals have to be arrested immediately and punished severely. On March 27, 1920, people who have no military authority whatsoever have even sent soldiers home from the front. Everyone has to confront these people with weapons in hand!
