Jageinsatz Slowakei 232 - Einhalt Josef - I. díl - Zrození


SS fighter unions - the so-called Jagdverbande - were established as special units for fighting guerrillas and guerrilla warfare behind the enemy. If we want to get as close as possible to the truth about their origin and functioning, we must first get acquainted with the history of their parent division, which was the Brandenburg Division.


The beginnings of the formation of this army group date back to 1939. Captain Theodor von Hippel came up with a vision of small specialized units that were to operate in the rear of the enemy and conduct intelligence, sabotage and other military operations. The army's top officials were not in favor of Hippel's plan, so the ambitious officer turned to Admiral Canaris, the head of the Abwehr.

The Abwehr was a German military intelligence body, founded in 1921 and used for defense intelligence. As an independent office, the Abwehr was abolished after the assassination of Hitler in 1944, when the leaders of this organization were involved in planning or knew about the upcoming coup. Canaris himself was arrested on Hitler's orders and later, on April 9, 1944, executed in Flosenburg.


Hippel's vision was based on his experience of World War I, serving in General Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck's East African German Corps, which fought a significant superiority of British and Belgian colonial forces. With the "hit and disappear" tactic, Lettow-Vorbeck managed to resist the enemy for quite some time, and although he was forced to retreat and surrender, he became a German national hero.

Hippel proposed that small elite units, highly skilled in sabotage, espionage, weapons handling (including enemy) and fluent language of the enemy, operate in the enemy's rear, damaging the background and morale on his side of the front. Canaris promoted Hippel to lieutenant colonel, hired him as head of the 2nd Division of the Abwehr, and gave him a free hand to accomplish this difficult task.


But let's go back to the Brandenburg family. The unit was given the code name "800th Bau.und Lehrkompanie Z.b.V 800" - (800th Special Purpose Construction and Instruction Company). The core of the original unit was formed by members of the Ebinghaus battalion, whose members distinguished themselves during the invasion of Poland, when they brought confusion to the rear of Polish troops by occupying bridges and prevented the smooth maneuvering of the rear troops of Polish troops. They also destroyed major road and rail junctions and assisted the Wehrmacht in advancing by securing intact bridges and other strategic objectives.


This sabotage unit grew dynamically. First, in January 1940, the battalion strength reached the strength of four infantry companies, one motorcycle platoon and a paratroop platoon. In the same year in December, the unit expanded to the Lehrregiment Brandenburg Z.b.V 800 (800th Brandenburg Instruction Regiment for special purposes). A little later it was renamed the "800th Sonderverband" (Special Union 800), to which 5 airborne regiments were subordinated, and finally the Brandenburg Division was established the following year.

The Brandenburg gathered military weapons and explosives specialists, interpreters, naval and airborne units, but the character and mission of this division would not be possible without volunteers - members of the countries occupied during World War II, who spoke the language of the state fluently and could thus undisturbed. fulfill their "mission". The terrorist style of Brandenburg did not deny the countless actions of these "Brandenburg Commandos" and the members of this division committed countless war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The Brandenburg troops were active on almost all fronts - during the invasion of Poland, Denmark and Norway, the Battle of France, Operation Barbarossa, Finland, Greece and the invasion of Crete, Romania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. Some troops were sent to infiltrate Allied India, Afghanistan, and also fought in the Middle East and South Africa.
They were also preparing for Operation Felix (planned seizure of Gibraltar) and Operation Lvoun (planned invasion of Great Britain).The unit was very successful in occupying strategic bridges, tunnels and railway stations in Poland and the Netherlands. But that's a different story. The events surrounding Otto Skorzeny, a Third Reich specialist in sabotage and terror, are important to our narration.


In 1943, Heinrich Himmler commissioned SS Hauptsturmführer Otto Skorzeny, who originally belonged to the SS Leibstandarte "Adolf Hitler", to use all available means and with his full support to build a battalion of agents called the SS Friedentahl ZbV and later renamed 502 fighter battalion. A group of officers from the Brandenburg Division, under the command of Lt. Col. Adrian vol Fokersers volunteered for Skorzeny, as instructors and commanders of the special unit being formed.

After Stauffenberg's failed assassination of Hitler, the structure of the entire Abwehr, and logically the Brandenburg Division, was changed by extensive reorganization. The OKW Foreign Defense Espionage and Sabotage Office was directly subordinate to Himmler, who took over as Mil into his RSHA, the Reich's main security office. In the office of Mil, sabotage, diversion and subversion of the enemy fell into the area of the Mil D military department, whose chief became Skorzeny, who in the meantime had personally promoted Hitler to SS-Obersurmbannführer and awarded him several times for his actions. For example, the liberation of Mussolini or the abduction of Admiral Horthy's son.

In close cooperation with the General Staff of the Wehrmacht, especially General Jodl, Skorzeny formed for the so-called crash operations and sabotage actions in the rear of the enemy "Fighter Sections". During 1944, another 1,800 men of various ranks from the Brandenburg Division voluntarily transferred to these divisions, named the SS - Jagdverbande. The rest were assigned to the SS Grossdeutschland division, where these soldiers fought until the end of the war.


In July and August, German sites were concerned about the situation in Slovakia. She was well aware that guerrilla warfare was being organized in this area on such a scale that the German army could have great problems in retreating. Despite the fact that the Germans had very good news from the intelligence network, there are very strong anti-German sentiments in the Slovak army, which can lead to an armed resignation. Internal events were closely monitored, especially by SD.

As already indicated, the Germans in the background needed peace, and therefore began to make preparations for the liquidation of the guerrilla movement. The Germans placed great hope in the officers and non-commissioned officers of the Brandenburg Division, who were to be trained for instructor activities and tasked with selecting and recruiting suitable Czech and Slovak-skilled persons in Slovakia, training them and deploying them against the guerrillas.


Already in the early summer of 1944, Lieutenant Pawlovsky, a Sudeten German from Horní Benešov, was instructed to lead a war school - Kampfschulle in Baden near Vienna, where he was to train the above-mentioned non-commissioned officers and officers in the instructor's trade. The Brandenburgers in Baden also underwent anti-guerrilla and sabotage training to prepare for the upcoming tasks.

The Germans were increasingly concerned about the situation in Slovakia and the inaction of the local authorities, and therefore Pawlovský received an order on July 22, 1944 to establish the "Slovakia Fighter Union". For this purpose, he was assigned two very experienced people, one of whom was SS-oberscharführer Kurt Werner Tutter.

Lieutenant Colonel Nageller, a German adviser to Hlinka's guard, pressured Pawlovsky to speed up training because he suspected an uprising would take place. The situation in Slovakia has worsened. On August 26, 1944, a German general in Slovakia, von Hubitzki's armored vehicle general, at Pawlovsky's suggestion, ordered the deployment of Jagdeinsatz Slowakai to Bratislava to prevent the takeover. Members of the SS divisions of 80 men were assigned to guard government buildings and other strategically important objects.

On August 28, 1944, the entire unit was transferred to the vicinity of Bratislava, because according to the order "forces will be used against the danger of coup". A day later, the SNP broke out. Within a few days, the insurgents controlled almost the entire territory of Slovakia.The exception was Bratislava and the easternmost parts of Slovakia.

The Slovak Fighter Union was, as the first German unit in Slovakia, deployed to Bratislava on 30 August for predetermined tasks of a strategic nature. At first, the unit seemed to be the arrival of stronger unions, passing the city over and over and performing various tasks. The focus was on guarding the presidential palace, occupying the Ministry of National Defense and assisting in the disarmament of Slovak troops. The commander of these events was Dr. Ervín Reidl - a former state prosecutor in Šumperk, who became the bodyguard of the then President Tisza.


The unit continued to grow and on September 21 was incorporated into the SS Fighter Unions. Several of these unions have been formed. Their officers and non-commissioned officers came, as already mentioned, from the Brandenburg Division. The team was recruited in many states where German troops resided, in order to counter the resistance in that territory using knowledge of the mother tongue, which was a unique prerequisite for provocative and infiltration actions. Members of these units were trained to work against the supply and intelligence of the enemy in the rear of regular enemy groups and armies. The soldiers were usually deployed to the rear for three months and then returned to their unit.

The SS fighters were formed in a different way than the regular army. The commander of these unions was Lt. Col. SS Otto Skorzeny, otherwise also the head of Amt VI. RSHA (Imperial Central Security Agency).

UNIT JOSEF - Part II - Formation and Main Characters


Unit "Josef" was the code name of one of the parts of the "Fighter Union of Slovakia", as well as Edelweiss (Protěž) - the commander Count mjr. THUN and Scheewittchen (Snow White) - commander Lt. Schindler. Fighter Union Slovakia - was under the command of - Fighter Union South-East under the command of Maj. Benesch.


The commander of "Joseph" was Lieutenant Walter Pawlovski 14.12.1913 - a Sudeten German from Horní Benesov. He studied at the philosophical faculty of the German University in Prague. From April 1943 at the latest, he was a member of the Brandenburg Division with the rank of lieutenant. In 1944, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant and appointed commander of the so-called Kampfschule of this division in Baden near Vienna. At the end of 1944 he became commander of the special unit "Einhait Josef". This unit was intended for terrorist, diversionary and intelligence tasks in the rear of the enemy. It was composed mostly of Slovak Germans and Slovaks, mainly members of the Hlinka Youth, and partly, mainly in command positions, of Sudeten Germans. As part of the Brandenburg Division, the unit was subordinated to the SS and RSHA respectively. It was first stationed in Bratislava, from where it moved on 5 October 1944 to Rarbork near Malachy, where it also received the designation Pi.Ers.u.A.kp 675 - field post number 23 222 and the official name was then SS Jagdverbande 232 Einhait Josef. It was subordinated to the commander of the Southeast Union. Field post number 23222 retained.
By this time, the entire unit was concentrated in the camp at Rarbork in the protection zone to undergo special training for agents at the military training ground there and to become familiar with explosives and sabotage means as well as a form of anti-partisan warfare. A small recruitment office remained in Bratislava as a foothold for contact with Slovak volunteers.
For training purposes, the unit was divided into four platoons, which were to form the basis for future fighter commandos. The training at Rarbork lasted until 30 October 1944, but the unit stayed there for a long time because the equipment was delivered late and inadequate with serious deficiencies, for example - stenguns with bad magazines, Nagant pistols without cartridges, hand grenades without fuses, etc. From the presence of these foreign weapons, it is evident that the trainees were also acquainted with the weaponry of the enemy and were also taught how to use it and had it in their armoury. Apart from the Sten, these were PPS-41,43, Mosins, Czechoslovak light machine guns ZB-24,26-, but in the arsenal of the unit there were weapons of different provenance, for example, German, Hungarian, Italian and others. It was the same with uniforms. They wore civilian clothes when simulating guerrilla life, they often wore Slovak army uniforms, but for sharp actions, for example on Ploština and in Prlov, they were dressed in Waffen SS uniforms.
Deployment in anti-partisan activities
The deployment against partisan activity was actually a kind of school for new recruits and preparation for the main task of crossing the front and operating in the rear of the enemy. On 31.10.1944 the group was moved to Sekul in the protection zone. On 3.11.1944 4 fighter commandos were concentrated in Trenčianske Teplice in one of the centres of partisan activity.
The unit was deployed according to the following aspects:



Freshly recruited Slovak volunteers were already assigned to Rarbock and they were trained there under the direction of Lt. Sonnberger and Battalion Commander Tutter. Later, for reasons of secrecy, it was moved to Sekul. In October, the larger part of the unit and its staff moved to Trenčianske Teplice, from where it began to perform intelligence and combat tasks against partisans as part of its training. In this unit, extended training in the areas of sabotage, provocation, guided conversation and other intelligence techniques was evident, compared to the other two Slovak-German units, Edelweiss and Scheewittchen, which were more likely to be just volunteer SS combat units.
Members of the Josef unit also had to sign a so-called "Sippenhalt" which meant that if they divulged secrets concerning the unit's plans the entire family of the recruit would pay with their lives. In addition, new members were recruited from the ranks of Reich and Slovak Germans and Slovaks, members of the Hlinka Guard, HG Emergency Troops and Hlinka Youth.
At the time of the move to Trenčianske Teplice, the activity report of 28 February 1945 showed that the unit had 10 non-commissioned officers, 372 men of German nationality and 125 Slovak volunteers. Also in Trenčianske Teplice, the unit continued to be replenished. One example for all is the acquisition of one Ladislav Hudec, a Slovak from Banská Bystrica, who was recruited as a collaborator of the SD (Sicherheitsdienst). After arriving in Teplice, Hudec was instructed by Tutter to ascertain anti-German sentiment among the population and to report such persons directly to Tutter. Later, Hudec was the only Slovak recipient of the Iron Cross II class.
Kurt Werner Tutter, born 4 December 1909 in Prague. He was a highly educated man, speaking ten languages, a mechanical engineer by profession. He studied this field at the German Technical University in Prague. Even before the war he was active in the movements that broke up the Czechoslovak Republic. He was responsible editor of the Henlein magazine "Der Ruf". After the occupation he became an employee of the Reich Propaganda Office - Reichspropagandaamt in the so-called Sudetland in Liberec. In 1942 he was a member of the SS and SD with the rank of untersturmführer. For his services in the dismemberment of the Czechoslovak Republic he received the award "Zur Erinnerung an den 1.Oktober 1938".
Tutter took part in actions of the Brandenburg Division all over Europe, for example in Norway, Italy, Yugoslavia, Turkey, and also carried out tasks in North Africa.
However, he eventually caused the death of a man, was tried for manslaughter in a hit-and-run accident, and was demoted and sent to the front with his progress impaired. His knowledge of Russian enabled him to participate in anti-Soviet propaganda among the Muslim population of the area in Pyatigorsk in the Caucasus. Later he was wounded and after recovering he enrolled in the Kampfschule of the Brandenburg Division in Freiburg, where he received special combat and intelligence training. It was there that he probably met Lieutenant Pawlowski with whom he reportedly became very close and who recruited him to work with him on the SS special commando project. He underwent special intelligence and combat training and then served as an instructor at the aforementioned "Kampfschule" combat school of the Brandenburg Division. Tutter was a highly educated, very capable intelligence officer, fluent in ten languages, including Hebrew. The fact that he was an instructor at the combat school suggests that he was not a bad soldier either. His superior, SS-obersturmfuehrer Dr. Walter Pavlovski, codenamed Dr. Ryba, was directly in charge of assembling a special detachment to be trained in the intentions of guerrilla warfare in the rear of the Red Army after the crossing of the front. For example:
VALKO - SS Lieutenant, 1915
According to the order of the German command of 12.2.1945, he was appointed commander of the unit "Josef" of the KATTER measure. It was a German partisan unit, which was parachuted into the area of the Beskydy and Veretsky Passes in the number of 30 SS - men and 20 volunteers of foreign nationality - (Slovak) - similar to Commandos or Rangers. The operation consisted in jamming the supply of liberation troops.
On 28.2.1945, he took over the leadership of the Slovak group of the course in KAMPSCHULE in Sekula, the terrorist course of the unit "Josef" - field post No. 23 222 - according to this number the unit was also called "SS Jagdverband Josef 232".
From Sekuliai, together with Tutter, Pawlovský, Michalský and other murderers, he crossed over to Trenčianske Teplice. Here, partisan units called "EIGENE GEGEBANDEN" are founded, composed of Slovaks, Russians, Germans, Ukrainians.
Under German command, they carried out harmful activities at the expense of the insurgents and subsequently the partisans. The inclusion of Valko is confirmed in the protocol testimony of Stefan Lörincz. He stated that in February 1945 he was one of the commanders in Sekula, then in T.Teplice and finally in Vizovice. In Vizovice he lectured on topography in Slovak language, although he came from Štýrský Hradec, probably his father or grandfather were from Slovakia. He also did training with the armoured fist. He was the recipient of three decorations and a silver pin.

III. part of the SS-Jagdgruppe 232 EINHAIT JOSEF


In the history of the unit, Josef was getting into the background of other similar units, especially the sister section of the Edelweiss, who infamously stated mainly in Kremničky Slovakia executions of civilians including children and old people.
SS – Jagdwerbande Einhait Joseph has played in the history of the much more prominent role than so far known, or these new developments remained in a narrow academic circle of nejsečtělejších historians of the modern history of Czechoslovakia. Therefore, in the history of our country, by which I mean Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia. Not only was the first unit of the German armed forces on the territory of the Slovak state and was tasked with guarding the most important objects in Bratislava and even the personal protection of Joseph Tisa.
By contrast, it was Abwehrgruppe 218 – Edelweiss, was a group of well-trained killers, who have given voluntarily on the wrong side at the time when it was clear that the AXIS and, with it, klerofašistická part of the words of the nation, involved in the so-called Slovak state has lost the war and these "adventurers" got tempted by the prospect of high pay and other perks, that they experienced the press gang – recruiters artfully vmanipulovali.
I don't want to apologize for a series of war crimes, which members of the SS Jagdverbande Slowakei dopusili. Here I want to point out that even though I personally regret the division of the republic in 1992, I have no antipathy against the new Slovakia, and there's a lot of good friends.
Interesting is the "Edelweiss"(a free translation of Edelweiss), the personality of the commander of the major SS Thun von Hohenstein( real name Erwin Sigmund von Thun-Honenstein. The first world war served as a hulán and the backups went in the rank of lieutenant. Its characteristic is possible to be described as a very good language specialist, in particular slavic languages, Czech, Slovak, perfect his Russian and excellently handled also various caucasian dialects, the knowledge of which was beneficial to the recruitment of the cossacks among soviet prisoners of war. In 1940, enters into a special regiment of Brandenburg, who was known under the code name "800. Bau. und Lehrbatalion From.b.In“ ( 800. Building and instruction company for special purposes) and preparing for a special operation Felix ( the conquest of Gibraltar, neuskutečněno).
In 1941, participating in the murder of jews in the Lviv region, and as commander of the striking and sabotážního of the battalion "Nightingale"(Nachtigall), consisting mainly of Ukrainian nationalists and cossacks.
But special training as a "Josefovci", who were carefully selected from the sudeten or the Slovak Germans or volunteers of HG and HM and it was required a certain education, they did not.
In addition, they were carefully tested and in addition to the desired volunteering was composed the oath of the so-called "Sippenhalt" which meant that the disclosure of the mission of the unit, sběhnutí, or reckless to the captivity of the enemy, has affected the whole family member of the unit, Josef.
The command of the SS Jagdverbande – Einhalt Joseph were, according to the testimony of Kurt Werner Tuttera in close connection with the Slovak government circles, especially with Otomarem Kubalou after the outbreak of the uprising of the commander of the HG and the German military advisor to Slovakia's SS – Sturmbannführerem Nagellerem.

The core units were graduates of the Freiburg sabotage the school such as lieutenant. Dr. Pawlowski and you then yourself typovali appropriate to an individual for service in the unit, which should have a very unusual mission. Therefore, unusual for the German army. 28. February 1945 was in units of 500 men.
Courses Raborku in Sekulích and Trencianske Teplice passed to 28.2 1945, for the unit Einhalt Joseph 125 Slovak volunteers, who formed a separate company.


Especially the course in Trencianske Teplice, a priority designated for the Slovak Germans and most fanatical of the Slovak volunteers under the SS, was the hideous school-based challenge methods, terror, intelligence games and sabotage. The first time we meet with the names of some Slovak volunteers, who are demonstrably involved in the murder on the Ploštině and in Prlově. For the unit "Einhalt Joseph"is gaining the dr.Fish /which is a pseudonym of Walter Pawlowského/,who personally recruited the young man in Slovak cities.
For all the example in the last article already mentioned Ladislav Hudec, Kamila Gaal and Miroslav Perglera.
Like Pawlovski it was Kurt Werner Tutter, who had in the courses on the charge of teaching to legend, intelligence work simply was a master in the spy game. As in the case of Hudec in Banská Bystrica, where it recruited or if you want to gained for cooperation Pawlowský, with a glass of wine or something stronger in a local bar.
As progressed even Tutter and especially in Bratislava, Žilina, Zvolen, Banská Štiavnica, Povážské Bystrica simply where there was a gymnasium or operate other types of secondary schools.
Through the existing ľudáckou a network of informants, or small-scale bribe to obtain awareness about the young men just předvojenského age and best odmaturovaných, therefore, with a high school education, which assumed an intelligent person, but due to the age of easily manipulovatelných. With these adepts were meeting or had to present a known, or a teacher, as reported by the historian Luděk Navara, in his book Death says Tutter, one such case.
"An interesting, but tragic story about a young man Štefanu Pazderovi and his friend Štefanu Kučera. Tutterovi Pazderu introduced his professor from the school and on the Tutterův account together drank a cup of red wine, while Tutter was very friendly, he was harmless, empathic impression and alluded to the possibility of further education in special courses. About what courses are already mentioned. Simply, he abused his intellect and education, and lured the young man into the ranks of future killers. Fortunately, Pazdera refused, saying that he has a serious girlfriend, but the sad ending to the story is the fact that a few days after the young students undergo unit Joseph at the Selected, captured four rebels. One of the young guerrilla Stefan Kučeru, the coincidence of unfortunate circumstances a friend of Štefan Pazdery, poorly tied with wire to a tree, on the neck they gave him the explosives and blew up! This was part of the filling of the practical exercise of special Kampfschülle, which have migrated from place to place. The fate of the other three was similar.“
The other course members Einhait Joseph in Sekulích was divided into two companies. The first company consisted of members of German nationality and was divided into 4 platoons. This company was practicing separately from the other, which was all composed of young men of Slovak nationality, and these were recruited after the outbreak of the SNP. They came mainly from the ranks of the luďácké Hlinkovy youth and in the units entered of your own free will - voluntarily. The course lasted seven weeks and its students undergo prodělávali basic military training. Undergoing eod course, practiced shooting from the weapons of both German and English and soviet – have learned to use the bazookas of both species as Panzerfaust, Panzershrek. An indispensable component of the quality of training was close combat – man against man, and eventually gained experience in anti - partisan struggle. 22.2.1945 swore Slovak company loyalty to president Tisovi and the Slovak state, but "on paper" are subject to the troops of the SS, namely the already mentioned SS-JAGDGRUPPE SÜD-OST, under the command of SS – Standartenführera Benesch ( possible code name) and the subject SS-JAGDGRUPPE MITTE, which is subject to SS-Obersturmbanführerovi Otto Skorzenymu the German specialist in sabotage and terror.
The commander of the Slovak company, which was the unit "Josef" was the por. SS Valko, his deputy and commander of the first platoon of por .SS Mattel. The second platoon led the German sergeant ROSCHIK and the German sergeant commanding the other platoon and platoons.Barčay. From Trencianske Teplice were reassigned members of "JOSEPH" to Němšic in Půchove, where they were sent to Bratislava to carry out sabotage activities and at the end of the action done in Vizovice in Moravia with a short intermezzem in Trest, Moravia, where provocative actions also dirty your hands with blood. Rotník BEUTEL and fourteen of his comrades were playing sběhy from the Slovak army and the two young partisans from the organization RE-KNOWS /the Revolution will win/pay for it life.
After the deadly week between the 16. And 23. April 1945 in Vizovice unit Josef 25.4. 1945, dissolves with the fact that every student got a gun with bullets 1500 rubles and 100 rubles, together with a half kg of explosives, the implementation of sabotage tasks. Actions were pre-planned while some like SCHWEIN was called off so next as STIER, HENGST, LEBER, WIDDER, KATER.
Action SCHWEIN
(PIG,SWINE) has been drawn up already in January 1945, and submitted to the 31.1.1945. A special task SCHWEIN had from selected members of the unit "Josef" to assemble a guerrilla group, as a base for future resistance movements on the territory of liberated Slovakia. Members of the SS, involved in the action should převlnit (go line) through the territory of the fighting, during the German pstupu and stay through the winter in the mountains south east of the Chosen. Here we establish a connection with the agency's networks, and then on the orders to carry out sabotage on the railway in the space of Kremnice-Senice – Elected – B.Bysltrica. The spring unit to strengthen, as winter in the mountains allow it stay just small groups. The commander was appointed lieutenant of the SS Sonnberger and further should attend the event 10 non-commissioned officers of the SS and the men of German nationality and six Slovaks. Confidants was available about 50. The group was financially well secured. Had 500 000 Pcs for bribery confidants and 300 000 ,should for your need. Had another 100 000 rubles, and 100 000 new Rubles and five decent watches. On the original document with the letterhead of the SS JAGDVERBAND SÜDOST - JAGDEINSATSZ SLOWAKEI located blue stamp "Geheime Kommandosache" – a secret thing a commando - is without a signature with an illegible signature. Action Schwein was cancelled for the defection of several Slovak volunteers, giving the whole a complex conspiracy threatened so much so that the nazis wouldn't take the risk and waste the forces.
ACTION STIER – BULL
This action is supposed to involve interference with the supply of military equipment on the route Prešov – New Sandec and the provisional paralysis of the transport. At the same time should be interrupted by the other carpathian passes and this was to achieve a paralysis of the supply of stocks of RA through the Carpathians. The plan counted with the fact that the members of the "Bull" they've added more agents, paratroopers and national guardsmen who were deployed either by air, arrived in some way on its own wheels or on a given territory act as a civil person or already as members of the sections EIGENE GEGEBANDEN, German partisans. The launch should be in may of 1945. Group STIER was about something bigger than SCHWEIN. Comprised of 30 elite members of the SS and 20 Slovak volunteers. For their action they had available 400 000 Sk, 250 000 rubles, 250 000 new Kč 100 000 new Polish zloty and 500 English pounds.
The Action Of Eber – Boar
The commander was rtm.SS ing.To.W.Tutter us a well-known candidate for Engelchena from the novel by Ladislav Mňačka. "Boar" was constructed identical from the actions of "Bull", they were different just by the action, Tutter and his people had to operate on the route Humenné –Sanok and the hamstring in the area of rail transport. The group should be planted in early may 1945 by plane and was available to 250 000 rubles, 250 000, 100 000 new zloty and 500 pounds sterling.
Other actions are the same, or almost the same
WIDDER – Aries
- The commander of the por. SS. Michalski – the same number of men 30 the germans 20 slovaks, the same financial envelope. Discontinuation should be done by air in the area of Uzhgorod – Sambor
- KATER – Cat – Por.SS Valko – identical equipment and the number of. Section Mukachevo – Strij.
- In addition to these drops were prepared more action KATZCHEN, where it should have been in the area of Ružomberok Slovak telephonist with a network of confidants. Some of the groups had the task to find out what is with the secret radio in Gelnici, who lost to a group of Joseph connection.
- Action KUH – listed actions clearly portray what was the point JAGDVERBANDEN, specially trained "Brandenburáků", who had as guerrillas to operate in the rear of the red army. Her powers were so vast and along with the new Czechoslovak republic did not allow similar elements to rampage. There were the so-called Wehrwolfové, but it already other history.

According to the testimony of Frederick Klima – member of SS-Jagdgruppe Einhalt Joseph, where he served as a translator and partly as a clerk,should this group by easter 1945, 650 members, which showed on the diet. At the same date amounted to losses for the entire period of the combat deployment for 45 men.

Diskuse

I assume you wanted to write Slowakei and not Slovakai, then Einheit and not Einhalt, Jagdverband (singular) and not Jagdwerbande (plural), Jagdeinsatz and not Jagdeinsatsz, SS-Obersturmbannfuhrer and not the SS-Obersürmbannführer and I could go on further. The contribution contains a number of other typos or misstatements...

Up to záverečnú part (the STRUCTURE of the SS JAGDVERBANDEN) ide zväčša about kópiu article from panzernet - www.panzernet.net author Daniel Garguláka. Vzhľadom to the fact that nick REDTIGER's one topic podpísaný ako Daniel Gargulák put ( /topic/view/125359/ ), so it is possible to autorom text on panzernente and resources " style="color:#F00;"my" skopírovať (or the ide of unfinished článok)..

Omlouvám se za překlepy a chyby, které jsou zapříčiněny nedostatkem času v poslání - šířit povědomí o II. odboji, který je u nás nedoceněný. Opravdu jsem zapoměl zkopírovat zdroje, ale ze sedmdesáti procent to píši přímo do rozhraní z hlavy a jen u jmen si vypomáhám knihami nebo googlem.

Otto Skorzeny nebyl "v té době představený Amt VI.RSHA".
Vedoucím Amt VI. RSHA, Ausland-SD, byl od června 1941 do konce války Walter Schellenberg.

800. Bau. und Lehrbatalion Z.b.V



zřejmě je myšlen Bau-Lehr-Bataillon z.b.V. 800 "Brandenburg" - což byl prapor nikoli rota


Citace :

SS JAGDGRUPPE SÜD-OST, pod vedením SS – Standartenführera Benesche ( možné krycí jméno) a ten podléhal SS JAGDGRUPPE MITTE



zřejmě je myšlen SS-Jagdverband Südost a SS-Jagdverband Mitte

Není kam spěchat Smile Lepší je napsat kvalitní článek než toto, kdy překlepy, nepřesnosti a chyby kvalitu článku dost podstatným způsobem devalvují. Dle mého názoru např. nelze směšovat pojem "Brandenburgští" a SS-Jagdverbande, ne každý příslušník jednotek Abwehru (Brandenburg) posléze vstoupil do Skorzenyho SS-Jagdverbande. Ti, kdo této nabídky "nevyužili, sloužili dále u vojskové Divize tankových granátníků Brandenburg. Nutno též poznamenat, že Kurt Werner Tutter byl po válce ve službách StB.

About Tutterovi I am writing in connection with the burning Prlova, where I come from - it's a shame CZECHOSLOVAKIA.
For other - Brandenburg, code-named 800. Lehr ..... - has undergone an evolution, from a small service to the division.
Really it was the first platoon, and only then began to Brandenburg to grow. I recommend to visit the Archives of security forces and study fund 325, where even the mention of it, that was Skorzeny's chief of Amt VI of the RSHA - to what extent should our scouts accurate information, it already is beyond me. It can be one hundred authors, who each have one thing different opinion:-).

My priority is rather a discussion of their crimes by burning Prlova, Slabs. About it it is necessary to discuss and not about the circumstantial details, which are important, I admit, but I'll try it even with the lack of time put into the form where it will not be able to no one critical note:-).

I added the document, where it is clear that after the reorganization of the in after the assassination attempt on Hitler, he was Skorzeny's chief of Amt. VI.
Even to the confronting, that merging Brandenburg with Jagdverbande. It's natural, it's the highest quality, the officers and noncommissioned officers went voluntarily under the Fighter unions SS - eg Volkersam, Thun von Hohenstein - yes you have to excuse me in German, which I studied, English and Russian, Latin, yes, but German, I'm just starting, just due to the research of forgotten criminals of the smaller format, who only carry out orders, but brutally and with unprecedented alacrity.
Again, sorry for the typos, but next time I will act in a way that the article předpřipravím..

Once again, the Skorzenymu. I had our scouts the wrong idea about the structure of the RSHA. Skorzeny was the chief of Amt.VI, but the section With /sabotage/ incurred in the year 1942. Who could still be clarified I'll be grateful to him. I don't deal with somehow, especially the German army, in addition to the units which participated in the brutal murders by the us in Prlově. Once again for those typos. Those few letters does not affect the content least I wanted to convey,if you have never done a typo. The only bigger mistake was to switch Jagdgruppe for JAGDVERBAND..
