There is also a long article from a German historian Björn Felder about the Latvian contribution to the SS-Jagdverband, I have to check if Tocs is mentioned in this article.

Dear Robert

Thanks a lot for this last link - this first is agitprop. But "Mit Lettland leben - mit Lettland sterben. Der SS-Jagdverband Ost - Unternehmen "Wildkatze" und die Vorbereitungen von antisowjetischen Partisanen in Lettland (1944-1945)" is very interesting.

Best regards Orlov

Dear Orlov, I have found one document mentioning Arnolds Točs - he is mentioned in his testimony by Baranowicze ghetto prisoner Gregory Breslauer. This document is in Russian. If you are interested I can send you it. However, I would like to ask whether you reached other documents from the trial? They are in Riga in National Archive.

Greetings,
Bozena
