It appears from these minutes of meetings and from letters and reports exchanged between Division 502 and S-211677 that Division 502 actively participated in the purge of the RAK members. For example, at one of these military meetings on 9 October 1976, the Secretary of the Committee of Division 502 stated “it can be stipulated that the enemies have been basically eliminated, but it is imperative to take further measures to prevent this from happening a second, a third and a fourth and so on again time. The enemy will not be able to do anything to us so long as our military is politically hard and clean. It is imperative to strengthen the party politically, ideologically and organisationally. It is imperative to dare absolutely to conduct purges”.1678 At another meeting in March 1977 he stated “it’s obvious that number of elements whom we had previously arrested really are enemy elements. More than 50 no-goods have been sent to S-21.There can only be reliability if five more platoon secretaries are removed”.1679 388.
