War Crime Trials Poland

[George_W]

Here is my entry about Heidenreich from 2018:

I only have this info:

Max Karl Heidenreich, born 24/08/1918 in Regensburg, Kreisstellenleiter in Ozorków, kreishauptstellenleiter in Łęczyca (Lenschütz), abschnittsführer in Sobótka (Lenschütz county). Extradited by the US authorities (from US military zone in Germany) to Poland on 10/12/1947 for mistreatment of the Jewish people. Sentenced by the court in Łódź to death on 02/12/1948 for killing Jewish people, mistreating of the Jews and Poles, plundering, sexual abuse of Jewish woman, forcing Poles to excessive work. Executed (by hanging) in Łódź on 17/05/1949.

For more details i can suggest You to contact IPN - they should have more informations and documents in their archives, including trial records, testimonies of witnesses and interrogation reports of Heidenreich (probably IPN in Łódź).

Eugen Faulhaber (03.09.1913) death sentence 15.12.1949 in Warsaw (suicide 07.12.1950 in prison)

Faulhaber - born Brühl/Baden.
Why was he tried in Poland? The nearest he came to Poland in his wartime service was Vilno/Wilna.

[steve248]

No idea whether KdS Posen personnel drafted in to help in suppressing the 1944 Warsaw Rising.
I don't have an algorithm for my database to connect the two subjects.

Eugen Faulhaber was sentenced to death in Poland for the participation in muss murders of Jews (probably he took part in executions), abusing and mistreatment of Jews in the area of Vilno and in Kowno (Kaunas). Unfortunately i don't have further informations about the details of his crimes.

Additional informations from this forum:

Eugen Faulhaber: Oberscharfuehrer SS in Wilno during 1943-1944, was responsible for massacres, deportations and extermination of Jews on that territory. Participated in murdering Jews in the ghetto of Vilnius, the murder of 4,000 Jews in Ponari near Vilnius and the evacuation of Jews from Kowno.
