Hi Would anyone know if the 64th battalion had any involvement in holocaust or other related acts? Thanks
Schutzmannschaft Bataillone Schutzmannschaft Bataillon 64 (weißruthenische) Used to form Schutzmannschaft-Brigade Siegling in July 1944 which in turn formed 30. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS in August.
Yeah I know that about them. I wanted to know if that battalion could have been tied to the holocaust in any way or if they did other related bad things
Link above for the Division includes: "Known war crimes Soldiers of the division killed 39 civilians in Etobon, France, 27 September 1944 in retaliation of the support given by villagers to the French partisans. An additional 27 were taken from the village to Germany, of them seven were shot 10 days later. (1)"
A French perspective. KED Language Services LLC - The Etobon Project Not an easy read, but as good an insight as many into the end of occupation in France and the cost of same. Always remember, never forget, Jim.
