War Crime Trials Poland
Re: War Crime Trials Poland
I guess this is something for George or another member from Poland. For me as foreigner it´s very hard to read as the print is missing many letters or parts of them.
In short: It´s like all the articles before about anti -polish actions, sellout of Poles, handing over people to Germans and there death or torture in camps.

Re: War Crime Trials Poland
2 last questions: What do you think is the correct name? And the name of the city? Lipska? Is it a place in Poland (maybe Lipno) or the Polish name of the German city Leipzig? I am a little bit confused. Sorry.
Is it maybe this man?
Werner Ziergiebel

executed 08.01.1948 in Lodz

I´m here to help, no need for sorrow.
Lipska = Lipsk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipsk)
It´s sure your man. The text mentions that he took part in the execution of 70 Poles near Lodz. Also they found out that he took part as volunteer in this action and shot personaly 7 persons. Additionaly he took part in the resettling of Poles from Poznań. He got caught in Germany in the Soviet occupied area and handed over to the Poles. Accused got sentenced to death.

Re: War Crime Trials Poland
What was the crime of this man? What is the correct translation. Sorry for the bad quality of the source.
Re: War Crime Trials Poland
" The ethnic German Ludwik Glowicki took part in an homicide of civilists during the German occupation due to being an aid to the German police, with a rifle in his hand, as they tried to catch St. Radwan and A Stanaszek in february 1944. During this action Stanaszek got shot and Radwan wounded.
In 1943 he caused the death of N. Judasz whom he reported to the police for the possession of an illegal rifle and a radio. As result Judasz got shot in january 1945 [sic!].
Additionaly he acted to the disadvantage of people wanted by the occupators.
Glowicki got death sentence, stripped of his civil rights and his possession seized by the Polish state."
Interesting that the court considered G. as reason for the death of Judasz in 1945. But that was daily routine of those courts as the decree is so far fetched that everything was a reason to consider someone as betrayer or foe of the Polish nation.

Re: War Crime Trials Poland
Probably Judasz was arrested and sentenced to a prison term, and then preventively executed by the prison staff as it happened in Radogoszcz prison.history1 wrote:Interesting that the court considered G. as reason for the death of Judasz in 1945. But that was daily routine of those courts as the decree is so far fetched that everything was a reason to consider someone as betrayer or foe of the Polish nation.
But only in Eastern Europe a person could have been named Judasz (as in Judas Iscariot) and didn't give a damn about it.

For Ansata76
He shot a victim who fell from the gallows.
Gestapo man sentenced to death
Grudziadz (PAP). Alphons Schultz was arraigned before the Regional Court in Grudziadz accused of membership of German criminal organisations, the SS, SD and Gestapo as well as of inhuman abuse of Polish political prisoners. Schultz, who was the owner of an electrical goods shop in Grudziadz before the war, served in the Gestapo prison during the occupation. He stood out as particularly cruel, used sophisticated torture techniques on prisoners, took part in executions, while one prisoner who fell off the gallows during an execution, he shot with a revolver. The court sentenced the inhuman German to death.
Bloody murderer of Poles will hang.
A former gendarme and bloodstained persecutor of the Polish population, August Just of Cekow, was arraigned before the Regional Court of Kalisz. The accused carried out the duties of gendarme in Dziezbin, Cekow and Jastrzebniki of Kalisz County. During searches of houses, Just tormented women and children, beating them with his rifle butt, an axe or a whip as well as taking part in the homicide of Stasiak of Goliszewo, whose mother he beat up so badly that the elderly woman died two weeks later. Furthermore, the indictment also accused Just of arresting and beating Poles, robbing churches alongside the Gestapo as well as appropriating gold items and liturgical vestments. 52 witnesses confirmed the above facts. He was found guilty on all counts. Just was condemned to death and the loss of all rights in perpetuity.

Re: War Crime Trials Poland
Two sentences of death
An assize (not sure if that is correct) of the special criminal court in Chorzow, condemned 45-year-old Maksymilian K(o)koszka, a plumber by trade, to death, for handing over Lech Lukaszewski, a schoolboy accused of firing at the Germans during the fighting, to the German police in September 1939. After his arrest, Lukaszewski was never seen again.
The second case was heard in Bedzin, against 34-year-old Eugenia Ciechowska, a tram conductress, who was accused of indicating to the German secret police where her brother-in-law, Wiktor Ciechowski, was hiding. Ciechowski was taken and condemned to death by beheading. After being found guilty, Eugenia Ciechowska was condemned to death by the court.
I will try to get to the other items later.

Re: War Crime Trials Poland
The profession of M. Kokoszka was locksmith, not plumber.
And "krwawy kat" means "bloody hangmen/executioneer" not "bloody murderer".

Re: War Crime Trials Poland
I found only this information:
But I could not find information about the second man (Gustav Mycler)

Oooops, you are quite right. How embarassing
And "krwawy kat" means "bloody hangmen/executioneer" not "bloody murderer".
Not in this context I'm afraid. Just was neither a hangman nor an executioner - that is an official who's duty is to carry out executions ordered by an authority, just apparently a thug who found his true calling in the Nazi machine. The difficulty is that there is no equivalent in English of the Polish word 'kat', which has a wide range of meanings including, but not exclusively, hangman, headsman, executioner, torturer, abuser, tormentor etc and does not necessarily imply an official position, the way the words executioner/hangman do. The Polish word can also have a more global meaning, eg 'Kat Warszawy', which is virtually impossible to translate accurately.
The word 'bloody' also has to be used with care because of its pejorative as well as literal meanings.
