Ernst Kaltenbrunner
On March 4, 1942, Jokl was arrested by the Gestapo and transferred to the collection camp ("Sammellager"). Georg Solta, trying to save his teacher, appealed for Jokl's freedom to Ernst Kaltenbrunner, the "SS Gruppenführer" in Vienna who had also been Solta's schoolmate. However, Kaltenbrunner argued he had no power to save Jokl from deportation.
