Beskrivning:
Commanders of so-called "Volksdeutscher Selbstschutz" - paramilitary formation composed of members of the German minority in pre-war Poland. Between September 1939 and April 1940 Selbstschutz - together with other Nazi-German formations - murdered tens of thousands of Poles in Pomerania. From the left:

SS-Standartenführer Ludolf Jacob von Alvensleben – chief of the Selbstschutz’s inspectorate in Płutowo.
SS-Obersturmbannführer Erich Spaarmann - chief of the Selbstschutz’s inspectorate in Bydgoszcz (to November 1939).
SS-Obersturmbannführer Hans Kölzow – chief of the Selbstschutz’s inspectorate in Inowrocław.
SS-Sturmbannführer Christian Schnug – chief of the Selbstschutz’s inspectorate in Bydgoszcz (since December 1939).

This photo was taken in Bydgoszcz. During the second world war it was placed in so-called "Album of fame of Selbstschutz" (known also as "Alvensleben Album"). After the end of war this album was found and taken over by the Polish authorities. It is now in the archives of the Commission for the Investigation of Nazi Crimes in Poland.
