Summary/Abstract: As a part of the judicial settlement with Nazi war criminals in the post- war era, only few Waffen-SS officers stood trial before the extraordinary people’s courts. The reasons for this lie in the unknown fate which befell the actors after the war, incomplete documentation and inadequate knowledge of the situation by the authorities at that time. One of the highest-ranking defenders was former SS General Bernhard Voss.
