Poland War Crime Trials

[ansata1976]

Who can give me more information about:

1. ...Another war criminal brought to Warsaw(1946) this week is SS-Haupsturmfuhrer Goetz, who liquidated the Cracow and Samok ghettos and volunteered to wipe out the ghettos in Tarnow and Bochnia. Goetz is charged with responsibility for the deaths of tens of thousands of Jews. Flown here with Goetz was Fritz Preuse, a SS leader who took part in the destruction of the Warsaw ghetto...

was one of tis men sentenced in Poland?

2.Eduard Schmitt (during the German occupation, as a member of Gestapo in Chełm and Kraśnik, arrested numerous civilians; most of them later died in concentration camps, was beating and kicking the arrested)

Is it maybe the same man (spelling mistake?):

Edward Shutt, former high Gestapo official, responsible for the liquidation of the Chelm and Krasnik ghettos where some 10,000 Jews were murdered was sentenced to be hanged by a Lublin court 21.07.1947.

what was te fate of this man? Are both men the same?

Thank you for this great information Hektores. Did you found more names of Germans executed for war crimes in this lists?

maybe: Matthäus Rumpl 22.01.1909 in Graz member Schupo in ? Trial Kielce 1946 death sentence

or other Germans?

[hektores]

I am interested in more information about:

Walter Boetscher gendarme Trial Bydgoszczy 1950 death sentence
?? Swiatka gendarme Trial Kielce 1950 death sentence
Jan Seweryn police man Trial Kielce 1950 death sentence
Oskar Zeigner Trial 1950 death sentence

I have never seen in any docs neither Jan Seweryn neither Swiatka name. I have seen only a name Swięcik Sewryn who was " dark blue policeman" and he died 14.11.1950

Did you find other German names not mentioned on the list of executed German war criminals???

Do you use polish language? If yes can we correspond in polish on priv.?

[ansata1976]

Sorry, but unfortunately I do not talk polish but I can translate messages by google translator.

[ansata1976]

Do you have this information only about Kielce? I am looking for the same information about Torun for a long time.

[hektores]

I take care the cases from Kielce only and what is more I am limited in this matter too. According to the info there were 24 places where people were imprisoned in Kielce. I can only see some info from Kielce but some executions were made in Radom but i did not find any list of the prisoners. We can base only on the info which I have, if you give me the name and approx. date of death I will make a search. To get most of the needed things ( The Institute of National Remembrance) I would need to have a press pass which I do not have unfortunately.

I guess you mean "Heinrich Kozlowski"? But because in German we pronounce the letter "z" different we would hear "Koslowski" when someone from Poland is reading this last name.
