It's not an execution order, but rather paperwork related to a person - Dr. Kastelic - who had already been sentenced to death:
This is a letter sent by the Gauleitung in Vienna to the Führer's Chancellery that had as its attachments two appeals for pardoning the condemned man that had been submitted by his mother and sister.
The letter comments on the delinquent's traitorous political activities (Anti-German/pro-Austrian) and coldly maintains that the death penalty is the only appropriate punishment.

I notice that at the bottom of the first page it says in a modern-type font "Nachdruck 3." "Nachdruck" means "reprint" or in this case, a reproduction of the original document, perhaps used as a teaching aid or for some other purpose after the war. In any event it is undoubtedly not an original wartime document IMO.
