Law/Patents - Law (general) / criminal investigation
German term or phrase: VS - n.f.D.
On that same letter from the Landeskriminalamt, there's a handwritten entry:
VS - n.f.D.

n.f. is probably "nur für" ?
Dienstzwecke, maybe??

Verschlusssache - nur für den Dienstgebrauch
Explanation:
Classified - for official use only.

The meaning in British military/government terms is For official use only; the American military treat material with this designation as Restricted, one of the security classifications which are (almost) standardised within NATO.
