RF-SS Stab Part 9 October 1941. OCR'ed for German. Pol. Regiment Montua, Awards - EK2 and KVK 2's in large quanity, Reports begin to show more Jewish women/kids being killed in "Aktions" than men.

  RF-SS Stab Part 10 and end of roll 18. The most interesting, I think, section. Mentions Wiking, Flandern, Niederlands, Dirlewanger, Rgt. Montua. Fallen and wounded list incl. SS#, AH Stand fast order. A mix with partial to May but most Jan 1942
  Interesting document from the Simon Wiesenthal Center/Documentation Center of Israel that is a partial? copy of the Dienstaltersliste for 1942. It looks to be the one they used as part of their search for War Criminals. It includes a small amount of related documentation on the men listed.
  Another of the same type document as above. This one is for 1944. This file contains related German documents ordering the deaths of Jews. A nice counterpart to the listing of the names of the men who ordered or carried them out. This comes from the original document posted on Simon Wiesenthal Center/Documentation Center of Israel site. I deleted many of the fotos as they were not scanned very well. The original author/editor was Tuviah Freidman who wrote a book about his search for Eichmann.
