Particular care should be taken to exclude persons who were responsible for brutalities in concentration or labour camps. (b) Former members of the Waffen S.S. except: i) German nationals who joined before the age of 18, when there are reasonable grounds for believing they were conscripted or joined under coercion. ii) Volksdeutsche formerly residing in German occupied territory, whether they were subsequently naturalized German or not, when there are reasonable grounds for believing they were conscripted or joined under coercion. iii) Volksdeutsche and other nationalities who were resettled and naturalized German before joining, when there are reasonable grounds for believing that naturalization was not of their own choosing, and reasonable grounds for believing they were conscripted or joined under coercion.
