| Description |
Barth (1908-1987) was an Austrian who, in 1941-43, served first as a lower-ranking officer with the Sonderkommando 10b of Einsatzgruppe D, and then as a member of the Gestapo in Yugoslavia. In October 1943 he, together with several other German servicemen, surrendered to the British forces in Italy. He was interrogated in October-November 1943 by military intelligence, and also later (he gave testimony at the Einsatzgruppen trial held in Nuremberg in 1947-48). As the member of a death squad, Barth took part in mass murder operations in southern Ukraine, Crimea, and the North Caucasus. He was the first confessed Holocaust perpetrator to be captured by the Allies, and could relate a lot of information on the mass murder of Jews in the southern USSR. However, the British showed only superficial interest in his activities as an accomplice in the mass murders they were mainly interested in personal data on various leaders of the SD. The British missed an opportunity to acquire intelligence on the Holocaust in the USSR part of the material of Barth's interrogations are classified up to this day.
