''SS-Brigadeführer'' Ferdinand von Sammern-Frankenegg (March 17, 1897 – September 20, 1944) was the Nazi German commander and the SS and Police Leader of the Warsaw area in German occupied Poland from 1941 until 1943 during World War II. He was in charge of the ''Großaktion Warschau'', the single most deadly operation against the Jews in the course of the Holocaust in occupied Poland, which entailed sending about 254,000 – 265,000 men, women and children, aboard overcrowded Holocaust trains to the extermination camp in Treblinka.〔Holocaust Encyclopedia (10 June 2013). ( "Treblinka: Chronology" ) (Internet Archive). United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Archived from the original on 5 June 2012. Retrieved 21 October 2014. "Deportations."〕 The liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto between July 23 and September 21, 1942 was disguised as a "resettlement action" in order to trick the victims into cooperating. It was a major part of the murderous campaign codenamed Operation Reinhard in the Final Solution.〔Arad, Yitzhak (1999). ( Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka: The Operation Reinhard Death Camps ) (Google Books preview). Indiana University Press. pp. 152–153. ISBN 978-0-2532-1305-1.〕 Von Sammern-Frankenegg remained in Warsaw until his first offensive operation in the suppression of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising on April 19, 1943, but he was unsuccessful.〔David J Landau (2000), ''Caged — A story of Jewish Resistance'', Pan Macmillan Australia, ISBN 0-7329-1063-3.〕 After the failed offensive, von Sammern-Frankenegg was replaced by Jürgen Stroop,〔( The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising ) by Marek Edelman. Interpress Publishers, pp. 17-39 (undated).〕 and court-martialed by Heinrich Himmler on April 24, 1943 for his alleged ineptitude; which, for the ''SS'', meant only one thing: guilty of "defending Jews".〔(Ferdinand von Sammern-Frankenegg ) at the Jewish Virtual Library.〕 He was subsequently transferred to Croatia where in September 1944 he was killed in a Yugoslav partisan ambush near the town of Klašnić. ==Awards== *Common Army * * Signum Laudis with Swords * * Karl Troop Cross * * Wound Medal *Third Reich * * SS-Ehrenring * * Sword of Honour of the Reichsführer-SS * * Julleuchter * * SS-Ehrendolch * * Goldenes Reichssportabzeichen * * Iron Cross (1939) 1st Class (posthumously) *Independent State of Croatia * * Order of the Crown of King Zvonimir 1st Class with Stars and Oak Leaves * * Große Silberne Tapferkeitsmedaille * * Vergoldetes Verwundetenabzeichen 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ferdinand von Sammern-Frankenegg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
