Phil,

I have an interest in Dr. Herbert W. Scholz, diplomat and economist. He was stationed in the US until kicked out at the start of the war. In 1944 he apparently was assigned to the embassy in Hungary. I have been interested in his role there with export of prisoners,etc..

A Walter Winchel article indicates he was arrested in April 1946.

Could you check your book to see if he is listed in the Central Registry?

According to the internet there was at least one other Dr. Herbert Scholz who was assigned to Auschwitz who is likely to be listed as well. Don't have any details on this individual.

Thanks in advance!!

Interesting. I have read that US Army Intelligence worked to keep certain names off this list. I interviewed the son of the Army officer who recruited Ghelen. He told me about his time in Germany after the war and some of the Germans he meet who were being processed. He also told me a number of names on the list ended up with new names and working for the CIA. The post war German judicial, police, and intelligence agencies had some interesting people working for them.

Phil is going to have his work cut out if he intends persisting with these CROWCASS pages.
There were some 70 odd different CROWCASS lists published (they go uo to No. 84 or so but due to a typing error they missed out the 70s). Most, but not all, can be found at UK National Archives, Kew, and 100 pages plus, some 250 pages.

The workload can be reduced as a number cover Japanese war criminals.

Perhaps the most famous SS officer recruited by American intelligence in Germany was Klaus Barbie. He appears in the 1948 UN War Crimes Commission, Alphabetical Index of War Criminals, Vol. I, A-F as
"SS-Hauptsturmfuehrer BARBIE or BARBIER, KLAUS, or BARBY, or MAYER alias KREITZ".
Gestapo Lyons, IV.
Wanted by France.
However, the Americans were playing a different game with Barbie.
