 HILFE ! Aserbeidschanische Infanterie Bataillon 818 |
     |
Dear Friends,
I'm writing this in english because my German is a little poor.
I'm a member of the axishistory forum :

With a few people we are doing research on the slaughter of some Azeri volunteers during the Warsaw Uprising. There are rumours about a crime committed by the Home Army fighters (Armia Krajowa) on some soldiers belonging to (?) the Aserbeidschanische Infanterie Bataillon 818, on the first of August 1944:
"On Koszykowa Street itself, the barracks of an Azerbaijan Legion fighting on the German side was stormed and captured after hours of bitter resistance--the defeated German auxiliaries had their throats cut. One who escaped hid for over twenty four hours in a broom-cupboard; then, stripped and clad only in his underpants, he fought his way over roof-tops, through back-yards and gardens to a German base in Aleji Ujasdowskie Street."

There are no serious sources that confirm such a thing but a few years ago a Polish "detectorist" found a part of an "Erkennungsmarke" that belonged to a volunteer from the 818th Bataillon in the former Stalag 318 (Lamsdorf) . My question is if it is possible to trace the name, date and place where this "Freiwillige" was killed ? Is it possible too find that kind of information via WAST or a another center ? Can somebody give me some advice how to find this information ?
Best regards,
kindzal
