Hallo,
did someone know something about
Adolf Bohlmann
SS-Ostuf.
born 27.04.1899
SS-Nr. 126.121
NSDAP-Nr. 971.961
SS-Ustuf.: 30.01.1938
In 1941 he was chief of Außendienstelle Sipo und SD Zamosc

He was my grandfather and know nothing about him

[radevich]

So you do not know where your grandfather was born? When he died? Where he lived and what he did before and after the war?

[George_W]

Not much info about this man.

Born in Berlin.

Summer 1941 - 1943, SS-Ostuf Adolf Bohlmann, SD officer, head of Aussendienststelle Zamość (also SD-Führer in Zamość)
1944, head of Referat III A (administration, Abteilung SD) with KdS Lublin.

To add to post by George W above, Feb 1945 with KdS Radom, possibly after the evacuation of Lublin in summer 1944,

[Olaf Ulrich Bernd]

The Nazis in charge of carrying out the deportations and murders in Zamosc were: Adolf Bohlmann and
his commander Gotthard Schubert.
Did someone know more about this.

[steve248]

Schubert was in Russian captivity until released in 1955.
Apparently re-joined the West German police until war crimes charges were placed against him
Tried by Landgericht Wiesbaden and convicted of complicity ("Beihilfe") in 28,000 murders; sentenced to 6 years imprisonment on 1 March 1973.
Died shortly afterwards.

[George_W]

Schubert was not Bohlmann's superior (who was the head SD-Aussenstelle) but head of Grenzpolizeikommissariat (actually Gestapo) in this town/area.

Chief of Gestapo in Zamość were:
1939-06.1941, KR Hans Block (transferred to the East)
06.1941-09.1942, KK Gotthard Schubert (from Lublin and returned to Lublin)
09.1942-09.1943, KI Erich Wendland (from Lublin and returned to Lublin)
09.1943-07.1944, KK Gotthard Schubert (from Lublin)

SD-Aussenstelle Zamość:
1939-summer 1941, SS-Ostuf Alexis Krüger (transferred next to Chełm)
1941-1943, SS-Ostuf Adolf Bohlmann (transferred to Lublin)
1943-1944, Hübner (transferred from Lublin)

See my post on Schubert, with some biographical details: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... t#p1163409

As Steve posted above he was tried in 1973 in Wiesbaden.

Another mysterious man is this Erich Wendland, K-Insp and head of GPK Zamość 1942-1943. He was listed once in Befehlsblatt "KOS Wendland with KdS Lublin promoted to K-Insp", BBL 17/1943.

On the SS list we have two men named Erich Wendland, both connected with Police/SD:

1) Erich Wendland, born 20.04.1893 Berlin, SS no 451 577, no Party number, SS-Ustuf 14.12.1942

2) Erich Wendland, born 30.12.1900 Berlin, SS no 16 477, NS no 429 660, SS-Ustuf 20.04.1940

It must be one of them but which? Anyway this Wendland from Zamość died in 1961 in West Germany.

I have the Stammkarte from SS-Führerakte from Adolf Bohlmann.
In the file is written: Orden und Ehrenzeichen: E.K.f.FR../ Westw. Ehr.Zch., K.K.K. II Kl.
M.Schw. (41)
I do not know what the abbreviations mean
Did someone know what this mean??

SD-Aussenstelle Zamość:
1939-summer 1941, SS-Ostuf Alexis Krüger (transferred next to Chełm)
1941-1943, SS-Ostuf Adolf Bohlmann (transferred to Lublin)
1943-1944, Hübner (transferred from Lublin)

Additional information about that mysterious Hübner:

It could be SS-Hscharf. Gerhard Hübner, born 28.02.1911 Frankfurt/Oder, who was listed as member of KdS Lublin in November 1940. In 1943 and 1944 he could already have had the rank of SS-Ustuf.

[steve248]

Gerhard Hübner (born 28 Feb 1911, Frankfurt/Oder) was commissioned SS-Ustuf on 9 Nov 1942. He was an SD officer.

Bohlmann - the first abbreviation E.K.f.FK is a WW1 order: Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer.
Incidentally, Bohlmann came out of WW1 with a 25% war injury but no sign of a Verwundetenabz. Maybe he was gassed.

In the earlier post about the two Wendlands - it was Erich Wendland (born 1893) who was at Zamosc and Lublin; promoted KI from KOS in 1943.

[George_W]

Not much info about Wendland.

In 1944 he was attached to Referat IV 2 with KdS Lublin.
