    Wilhelm Sackenreuther group

    Here one photo I have so far from a group I found beginning of 2011 in Germany from private.

    SS-Hauptscharführer Wilhelm Sackenreuther from the city of Nürnberg.
    Einsatzgruppe C Einsatzkommando 6

    With the group came also couple of photos from Babi Yar, these ones are not shown in this photo.
    The photo of him in his SD tunic, buckle style M43 cap with metal skull and eagle! Wooden box with
    initials for his name, runes, swastika and Kiew 1942. His medals, two letters where one is very rare
    stamped "Geheime Staatspolizei". Letter head with "Der Kommandeur, des Einsatzkommandos 6,
    der Sciherheitspolizei und des SD. Dated Zamosc,3rd March 44.

    Quite interesting and for me the only known group of such a thing out there.

    ...
    Later on, a smaller gas van was placed at the permanent disposal of the Kiev KdS and the EG C staff.
    Another driver, named Eisenburger, admitted that he too had been sent from Berlin to Kiev at the beginning of 1942,
    with his colleague Sackenreuther and two large gas vans. They arrived at EG C staff headquarters and were detailed to
    Einsatzkommando 6 in Stalino, where they appeared at the end of February or the beginning of March. By feigning illness,
    Eisenburger soon managed to get out of taking part in the planned operation. Only the gas van driven by Sackenreuther
    remained at Stalino ...

    He was then getting killed from Bandits in 44 with 3 others from the SD.

      Yes this is also for me the most freaky group I ever found so far.
      Cannot check on your MM question till I am back in Europe again.

      I can tell you this guy looks very strange in the photo, like he loves the death.
      I wonder also a bid about the amount of grave photos in this group...

        Robert,
        This gives an idea of the stuff that was going on when WS was running about in Poland...

                Hopefully they did it very slowly.
                However, a very historical and interesting group.

                  That's indeed creepy, but it's nontheless a stunning grouping, with real historical significance!

                  What are the two pieces on the right of the Ostmedaille? Are they shrapnel?

                      Glad it went to a good home.
