Researcher -- Here's the only fellow from your list that I've seen:

Issel, Horst – {put on trial by a Danish court for war crimes; convicted and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment; released from Danish prison on a "no return" condition 12 Jun 1953 (NYT 13 Jun 1953:8:8).}

Hi David

Despite there being 80 Germans convicted of war crimes in Denmark (including 4 sentenced to death) nobody seems to know anything about these perpetrators or their crimes!

BTW . . the 4 death sentences were commuted.

The SD in Denmark formed death squads using right-wing collaborators to assassinate prominent Danes suspected of anti-German activism. These were the so-called "clearing murders." The SD in the Netherlands had a similar arrangement with Dutch collaborators, known as "Silbertanne-Aktionen." This has led me to wonder if the "death squads" we see today were not originally a Nazi invention.
