Abstract:The death of Oskar Dirlewanger was shrouded in mystery. The discovery of documents in Ludwigsburg almost three decades ago by the German historian Hans-Peter Klausch brought us closer to the truth. The present article is an attempt to answer the question raised in 1993 as to who were the “Polnischen Wachmannschaft.” The attempt to identify the perpetrators was based on a query in two foreign and three Polish archives. The results came to light only after extensive research, and some conclusions are still beyond reach, as they depend solely on the participants of the events in Altshausen.
