English: Two "Askaris" or "Trawnikis" as representatives of the so-called "foreign subsidiary ethnic divisions" SS before the corpses of Jews in the doorway of the Warsaw Ghetto. The unit trained in village of Trawniki was made up of Ukrainians, Russians, Belorussians, Poles, Estonians, Lithuanians, Latvians, ethnic Germans, Kazakhs and Tartars.
Polski: Dwóch żołnierzy kolaboranckich jednostek pomocniczych przy ciałach zamordowanych Żydów przed kamienicą przy Kupieckiej 18. Stroop nazywał te jednostki askarysami, co było aluzją do walczących za Cesarza Wilhelma II żołnierzy tubylców w koloniach niemieckich. W tłumieniu getta uczestniczyły pomocnicze oddziały ukraińskie i łotewskie. W tym drugim przypadku były to dwa bataliony łotewskiej policji (22 i 272).[3] Także batalion sowieckich jeńców wojennych znany jako Trawniki-Männer lub SS-StreibelbataillonTrawniki-Männer brał udział w w likwidacji getta warszawskiego.
1943: Three leather bound albums were created for Heinrich Himmler, Friedrich Krueger and Jürgen Stroop, and one unbound file copy of the report (das Konzept) remained in Warsaw, in the care of Chief of Staff Jesuiter.[5]
1945: According to statement given in 1945 by Stroop's adjutant Karl Kaleshke, to US authorities in Wiesbaden, he ordered Stroops copy of the report burnt with other secret documents in Burg Kranzberg.[1]
1945: After the war only two of the four copies were discovered, those belonging to Himler and Jesuiter.[2] Himler's copy went to Seventh Army Intelligence Center (SAIC) and Jesuiter's to Military Intelligence Research Section (MIRS) in London.[1] Several sources stated that German Bundesarchiv also had a copy in Koblenz.[6][7][2] However, in reply to inquiries by Richard Raskin, Bundesarchiv stated that third copy of report was never in their possession.[5]
November 1945: Both copies were exhibited at the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg in November 1945, sharing the document number 1061-PS, and used in the trial as “US Exhibit 275”.[5]
1947: Both copies were used at International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg in the trial of Oswald Pohl as exhibit 503.
10 June 1948: Himler/SAIC copy of the Stroop report and Katzmann Report were handed over by Fred Niebergal, head of Office of Chief of Counsel for War Crimes – OCCWC, to Bernard Acht, head of Polish Military Mission in Nuremberg.[1]
1948: Jesuiter/MIRS copy of the report went to National Archives (NARA) in Washington, D.C., where it remains.[5]
