List of Allied Airmen and POWs Murdered by the Nazis

The following compilation is largely based on a list of allied airmen murders collected by the late Willi Wachholz, and on Traugott Vitz’s own research using the “Review and Recommendation” papers of the US war crime trials held at Dachau, and (British) National Archive files. The majority of these crimes were committed within the German Reich in the borders of 1937.

Table of Contents

Researchers of airmen casualties within the borders of present-day Austria (which was incorporated into the German Reich in 1938) may perhaps appreciate the Memorial Book of all members of the American and British Air Forces killed in the air war in that area which was published by two Austrian researchers, in 2016, under the title “Missing in Action – Failed to Return”, freely downloadable at http://www.bundesheer.at/download_archiv/pdfs/missing_in_action.pdf. The book is bilingual German/English.

Notes: In the tables below, the numbers preceding place names are the post codes as of 2018. Non-German post codes are prefixed by designators F=France, A=Austria, CZ=Czechia, P=Poland, H=Hungary

All dates are in dd/mm/yy format. A number behind a slash (“/”) in a case number points to the charge or “incident” within the case.

US airmen known to have been murdered by German War Criminals who were hanged under US Jurisdiction.
