IG Farben-Werkschutz Auschwitz-Bunawerke - Leiter Ermittlungsabteilung

Wie in den übrigen Werken der I.G. Farbenindustrie wurden auch für das neue Werk in Auschwitz Wachmannschaften aufgestellt, der sogenannte Werkschutz. Dieses „zentrale Instrument bei der Durchsetzung von härteren Disziplinarmaßnahmen durch IG-eigene Organe“ bestand aus drei Abteilungen, benannt nach ihren Tätigkeitsbereichen:Die Abteilung „Ermittlung“, geleitet von Günther Lotzmann, war verantwortlich für die Bearbeitung von Diebstahlfällen und die Behandlung der sogenannten „Arbeitsbummelanten“.

I read your post, but it was hard to read the handwritten trial-file of Franz Mücke, would be easier for history1

found nothing about Walter Malcherczyk (he must not have been a SS-guard in Auschwitz)

Thank you

Which information do you have about

SS-Unterscharführer Hans or Johann Pichler (16.11.1901 in Bozen) sentenced to 4 years imprisonment 1948 in Krakow

When was his trial? When was he released? Do you know his date and place of death?

[George_W]

Hans vel Johann Pichler was extradited by the British authorities on 03.05.1947.

He was sentenced in Kraków on 09.12.1948 to 5 years and 6 months imprisonment (5,5 years).

According to my source he died on 18.08.1949 (possibly in prison).

[ansata1976]

In my sources SS-Rottenführer Paul Pistelok (12.12.1911 in Radostowice) sentenced to 1 year and 2 months imprisonment 06.06.1947 in Katowice was released 06.06.1947. Is this release date possible? Maybe with the imprisonment before the trial?

Which information do you have about

SS-Sturmmann Josef Merkl or Mergl (13.09.1908 in Semlin) sentenced to 4 years imprisonment 1948 in Krakow (released?)

[George_W]

I have Josef Mergl vel Mergel, born 06.10.1909 Wolfingen, extradited by the US authorities on 03.02.1947, sentenced in Kraków on 13.04.1948 to 4 years, released on 12.04.1951.

Josef Merkl born 13.09.1908 was different man but i don't have any informations about his trial in Poland (possibly he was not tried in Poland).

[ansata1976]

SS-Rottenführer Berthold Ernst Riegenhagen (09.12.1912 in Krieschow) acquitted 17.02.1949 in Krakow (released 17.02.1949)
Or was the trial 08.04.1948 or 01.10.1948 https://truthaboutcamps.eu/th/form/r258 ... AGEN.html

[George_W]

He was acquitted on 08.04.1948 and released on 17.02.1949.

The second date as the date of trial (judgement) was a mistake in my source.

George

[ansata1976]
