History

During the invasion of Poland, a member of the SS-Artillerie-Standarte and an Army Feldgendarme executed 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]
