I want to add:

31.08.1916 Kommandeurkreuz II. Klasse des Kgl. Sächs. Militär St. Heinrichs-Ordens (H R)

28.11.1917 Ritterkreuz I. Klasse des Kgl. Sächs. Verdienstordens mit Schwertern (V R1x)
1918 Verwundetenabzeichen in Silber
Ärmelband “Kurland”

23.04.1919 bei der Freiwillligen Grenzjäger-Brigade 2
01.10.1919 Führer der 2. (MG) Kompanie des 4. sächsischen Grenzjäger-Reichswehr-Regiments 38 unter der Reichswehr-Brigade 19, Leipzig, der Vorläufigen Reichswehr

15.03.1941 Kommandeur der 221. Sicherungs-Division : At the end of June 1941, this division occupied the city of Bialystok; on 27.06.1941 the Pol.Btl. 309 burns about 1,000 Jews alive in the main synagogue of Bialystock. The 221. Sicherungs-Division takes over the barrier

Never charged or convicted:
On the morning of 27.06.1941 the 221. Sich.Div. invades with the since 25.05.1941 subordinated Polizei-Bataillon 309 to Bialystok. The IR 350 under Oberst Koch goes against Jews and blew up Red Army soldiers. The 1./Pol.Btl. 309 (Polizeihauptmann Hans Behrens) shoots in the morning in the city about 250 Jews. In the afternoon, the company detained at least 800 Jews, including possibly women and children, in the main synagogue and burned them alive under fire. Breakout attempts are prevented by two shut-off rows [Absperr-Reihen ] with MG fire. The triggered fire destroys the surrounding district, it is contained by reckless building blasting by the police company.
After a crisis meeting in the staff of the 221. Sich.Div., an attempt is made to cover up the matter; the Ic of the Division, Oberleutnant Helmut Mann, writes corresponding press reports. But the crime will soon be known. German soldiers brag with photos to Jews in other cities!
Even during the war, on 25.09.1942, the "Manchester Guardian" reported quite extensively about it.

KTB [War Diary] of the 221. Sich.Div. of 08.07.1941:
"Wherever Jews live, the cleansing of the space [encounters] trouble .... because the Jews support the formation of partisan groups and the disturbance of space by scattered"
“Überall dort, wo Juden leben, [stößt] die Säuberung des Raumes auf Schwierigkeiten .... , denn die Juden unterstützen die Bildung von Partisanengruppen und die Beunruhigung des Raumes durch versprengte russische Soldaten.”
