Re: Poland War Crime Trials
I can only guess, sadly. But based on their last names, their similar age and the same place of installation I assume those are brothers and ethnic Germans.

Re: Poland War Crime Trials
Laubner was not Gestapo head in Czestochowa but well-known in Czestochowa Gestapo member.
I have Szabelski, member of Kripo in Czestochowa not Gestapo, sentenced to death but indeed comitted suicide before the execution.

Re: Poland War Crime Trials
Your last quote regarding Szabelski is from page 7 not from page 24, ansata.
BTW, it`s "volksdeutsch ( = adjective) or "Volksdeutsche/-r" (= substantive) and not "volks-deutsch".
I know you only quoted the text, it´s only to prevent the spreading of this incorrect Polish version of this terms.

Re: Poland War Crime Trials
thank you. I know but it was only a quotation.
Do you have information about the fate of Alfred Mielke (or Milke)? Or the other mentioned names?
