Volksdeutscher Selbstschutz
The list identified more than 61,000 members of Polish elite: activists, intelligentsia, scholars, actors, former officers, Polish nobility, Catholic priests, university professors, teachers, doctors, lawyers and even a prominent sportsman who had represented Poland in the Berlin Olympics in 1936. People in the Special Prosecution Book were either killed outright by "Einsatzgruppen" and "Volksdeutscher Selbstschutz" or sent to concentration camps to die. The German death squads including "Einsatzkommando" 16 and EK-"Einmann" fell under direct command of SS-"Sturmbannführer" Rudolf Tröger, with overall command by Reinhard Heydrich.
