#16

Post by Stefano » 01 Aug 2003, 17:03

Hello

According to Pier Arrigo Carnier, Lo sterminio mancato (who used Jugoslav sources, mainly newspaper articles from the time), the above-mentioned 10th process (July 1947) involved:

Friedrich Rainer (Oberster Kommissar Operationszone Adriatisches Kuestenland)
Helmut Glaser
Ludwig Kübler (commander 97. Armee-Korps)
Hans von Hoesslin (commander 188. Geb.Div.)
Heinrich Christl (commander Geb.Jg.Rgt. 904)
Hans Fleckner
Günther Neubert
Josef Vogt
Hermann Doujak
Franz Hradetzky
Walter Hochsteiner
Leon Kuss
Reinhold Gerlach
Franc Müller

All were sentenced to death except Doujak (18 years inprisonement) and Hradetzky (18 years).

Some interesting photos taken during the process are published in :

Dežman Jože / Elste Alfred et al.
Unter Hakenkreuz und Titostern / Med kljukastim križem in rdeco zvezdo

the list gives Zimmerman paul born 1/10/97 ss standartenfuhrer
but dienstalterlist gives only zimmerman paul born 2/7/95 ss brigadefuhrer
so his rank is wrong.
the hauptman and orskommendant in kragujevac ( serbia) 1941 is Zimmerman.

Hi Dylan

your list shows : Zimmerman Walter 1/10/97 standartenfuhrer - How come you now say the name on the list is Zimmerman Paul?

Is this a crime of just like walking in the park?
Pennywise, you must be joking. Macedonian people are not Bulgarians, they never been and they never will be. Bulgarian Army terrorised Macedonians and Serbs during WWII and commited a huge number of war crimes in eastern part of Serbia and in Macedonia.

Just prior to and during the early years of Second World War, the monarchist-fascist regime of Tsar Boris the IIIrd and the governments of Kioseivanov and especially of B. Filov (1940-1944) carried-out policies friendly to Nazi Germany; consequently, these policies led to a military alliance with Third Reich and resulted in reducing Bulgaria to a status of a Hitlerite dependency. On 01/03/1941 Bulgaria acceded to the Axis Tri-Partite Treaty, according to which Bulgaria permitted the use of its naval facilities, air bases, and rail lines by the German armed forces. German forces entered the country on 02/03/1941, and used it as a staging base for their invasions of Jugoslavia and Greece. In April of 1941 Bulgaria was awarded almost entire Jugoslav Macedonia, as well as Aegean and Vardarian Thrace and extreme south-eastern section of Serbia. Bulgaria also co-participated in the occupation of the remainder of Serbia (until September of 1944), while some Bulgarian units were dispatched to Bosnia-Hercegovina for anti-partisan operations. In Macedonia a brutal policy of complete Bulgarization was constantly implemented.

Josef Vogt - on 19.7.1947 sentenced to death by hanging

Why were these two spared. Was that because they were the only people having Slavic surnames on the list? :lol:
