Since "Justiz und NS Verbrechen" series have begun listing the Dutch War Crimes Trials, anyone know if they are turning to the Belgian trials?

Harro, and the details of your book are.......?

An interesting first picture above (side profile) with the head resting on a horizontal prong.
Typically used by the Sipo in Germany.
But not in British or American photos of those captured and photographed. Just an observation.

Oskar Schmidt born 25 Jan 1907, Hannover.
Must have had his sentence commuted as 1966 living in Bremen.

Looking for clarification.

Is there 2 Wilhelm Asthalter or is the date of birth from dylan's old post below incorrect?
Also from ansata1976's recent list the trial is in Namur. Same man tried again?

Hello,
I am looking for information about Benno Valentin Kranich, SIPO Charleroi.
Can you give me the sources of the information published here?
Do you know where I can find the minutes of the trial?
And / or military documents that indicate his duties? the Ministry of War in Berlin has nothing to do with it.
thank you in advance
