History
During the invasion of Poland, a member of the SS-Artillerie-Standarte and an Army Feldgendarme killed 50 Jews in the village.[3] The local German Army commander ordered a court-martial, with the prosecutor demanding the death penalty. The charges were, however, dropped, following intense pressure from Himmler.[3]
