Hello Albert,

Some trouble with your mention of EK 16

EK 16 created in Danzig was headed by Rudolf Tröger in 1939.
EK 16 (Knin) was part of EG Kroatien headed by Korndorfer (43) then Fest (43 - 45)

Hello Georges!

Information from Polish sources.

You can look at the book J.Banach (Banach, Jens: Die Inspekteure der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD 1936-1945. Hamburg 1985 and Banach, Jens: Heydrichs Vertreter im Feld: die Inspekteure, Kommandeure und Befehlshaber der Sicherheitspolizei. 2000).

I've the 2 books you mention and did'nt saw mention of SD Darmstadt . Banach is really excellent. I'm the proud owner of his thesis of IdS basis for his book "Heydrichs Elite".

I have to check for EK 16. the referenced Einsatzgruppen in Polen (Mallmann/Bohler/Matthäus don't mention it in staff EK 16 (?) as well The Field men by French Mc Lean who list all EG officers.

Source - it works the Polish Commission - GKBZHwP (Biuletyn Głowneij Komisji Badania Zbrodni Hitlerowskich w Polsce).
Perhaps this is the book 15 or 23.

[DoctorS]

All the info I have on Esk 16 lists Troger as commander. While French MacLean's Field Men is pretty comprehensive there are some omissions like Paul Schultz, Johannes Rentsch, etc.

[smetanin albert]

We'll have to see a specialist( J.Moore).

John is THE specialist on Waffen-SS but the specialist of SIPO SD is our fellow member Steve248.

Hello Georges,

Neither Mallmann/Bohler/Matthäus nor MacLean did not mentioned all officers who served in Einstzagruppen. MacLean omitted a lot of men who served in Einsatzgruppen in Poland 1939. He mentioned all commanders but only few lower ranked.
