Fritz Jörn (?) SS- Hauptscharführer, commander forced labor camp Koldychevo during the period from 1942 to 1944, identified in a POW camp in Kursk, sentenced to death and hanged.

About SS-Hscha Jörn from trial against SS-Hstuf Alfred Renndorfer and SS-Ustuf Wilhelm Dadischek (BdS-Außenstelle Baranowicze)
(LG München 21.01.1966)

dated october/november 1943

Kurze Zeit nach der Tötung der "OT-Juden" - es waren erst einige Tage verstrichen - wurden auf Anordnung Ren.s alle "SD-Juden" von Angehörigen der BdS-Aussenstelle Baranowicze und der weissruthenischen Schutzmannschaft mit Lastkraftwagen von Baranowicze auf das Gut Koldyczewo gebracht.
(..)
In Koldyczewo erklärte der dortige Lagerleiter Jörn, ein SS-Hauptscharführer, dem damaligen SS-Hauptsturmführer Renndorfer, er könne nur einen Teil der aus Baranowicze kommenden Juden in Koldyczewo unterbringen, für alle "SD-Juden" - es waren dies etwa 120 Männer und Frauen - sei im Lager nicht Platz. Daraufhin liess Renndorfer von den bereits seit längerer Zeit auf dem Gut lebenden Juden und den eben angelangten "SD-Juden" zusammen die Anzahl heraussuchen, welche - nach Auffassung Jörns - auf dem Gut ohne weiteres unter sicherer Bewachung untergebracht werden konnte. Es wurden von allen anwesenden Juden die besten Arbeitskräfte zum Verbleib auf Koldyczewo bestimmt. Hinsichtlich der übrigen - es waren wenigstens 60 - entschloss Renndorfer sich an Ort und Stelle zur Exekution.
(..)

Shortly after the killing of the "OT-Jews" - only a few days had passed - by Renndorfer's order, all "SD-Jews" were taken by truck from Baranowicze to the Koldyczewo estate by members of the BdS branch office in Baranowicze and the Belarusian Schutzmannschaft.
(..)
In Koldyczewo the camp manager Jörn, an SS-Hauptscharführer, explained to SS Hauptsturmfuhrer Renndorfer that he could only house some of the Jews coming from Baranowicz in Koldyczewo, for all "SD Jews" - there were about 120 men and women - there is no room in the camp. Thereupon Renndorfer had the number of Jews who had been living on the estate for a long time and the "SD Jews" who had just arrived selected together, which - in Jörn's opinion - could easily be housed on the estate under safe guard. From all the Jews present, the best workers were chosen to remain in Koldyczewo. As for the others - there were at least 60 - Renndorfer decided to execute them on the spot.

Hi all,

I believe there was a trial of collaborators in Gomel at the beginning of December 1967 also resulting in several death sentences.

Hans Isenmann
1922 in Berlin
Obergefreiter, SS-Division „Wiking“
executed 29.01.1946 in Kiew

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVtZgHel7vw

In his testimony before the Soviet court he is very calm and states that he personally killed 120 people at Lvov using the machine pistol of SS-Uscha Renner who was his group leader. He was one of 6 men assigned as shooters, the other six were assigned as escorts for those about to be shot.

A defendant in the Kiev trial, Wachtmeister Boris Drachenfels, revealed how his 320th Police Battalion took part in the execution of Jews near Rovno:

He states that he was ordered by Leutnant Gebel to join the outer cordon of guards during the morning and then the inner cordon at the execution site after lunch. He estimated there had been 25,000 shootings.

In this series on Youtube the clip R/17 documents the executions on 29 Jan 1946 in Kalinin Square, Kiev

[Researcher]

I am finding it so difficult with Russian names

for example

виновности Юнязева измене translates to Yunyazev's guilt of treason
I saw on his paperwork his name was typed Junjasew.
Which is correct?

Alexander Junjasew was a Russian collaborater on the Trawniki lines, serving in Sukhozhebr Lublin & Siedlce.
He was sentenced to death in a Ural Military District Trial on 14 Jan 1946 and executed on 11 May 1946
