In Błonie near Warsaw members/soldiers Musikkorps der Leibstandarte-SS "Adolf Hitler" directed by Hermann Müller-John played other instruments. Circa 50 Jews did not survive their performance - one of the bloodiest concerts in the history of music.
An anonymous admirer of this SS-conductor ( Obermusikmeister) deprived us of knowing the details of the file B 162/16610 in Bundesarchiv Ludwigsburg:
Erschießung von 50 jüdischen Häftlingen am 18./19.9.1939 in Blonie im Distrikt Warschau durch Hermann Müller-John, Obermusikmeister der SS-Leibstandarte "Adolf Hitler"

Re: "Concerto" in Blonie near Warsaw
In book Katarzyna Degler, Wladyslaw Degler "At the match factory in Blonie", p. 11
There were very many Jews, some priests. They led them into the former shelters on the factory grounds and shot them there. This cold murder went on until the seventeenth, and it was done by young student [sic!] soldiers from the SS Adolf Hitler battalion. Such five were quartered at my place.
They had a band on the left sleeve of their Feldgrau uniform, which masked the A.H. monogram embroidered in silver on a black background, as well as on the ends of the collar and epaulettes. It all shone as it was uncovered. They were the ones who murdered the hapless victims.
Some of them took part in the assault on Warsaw. [...]. There was among the five a stocky blond Kurt Keller, a typical Nordic, who showed me probably twenty watches, rings of thirty, a pile of money. All this taken from the victims.
Terrible how coldly they did it. [...] They were murdering until September 17, when a new commandant came and forbade executions.
