Dr. (Josef) "Sepp" Janko (November 9, 1905, Ernsthausen ((ハンガリー語:Ernesztháza, Ernőháza), (セルビア語:(now) ''Банатски Деспотовац, Banatski Despotovac'')), the Bánát ''(Банат, Bánság)'' (now Central Banat, Vojvodina, Serbia), Royal Hungary, Imperial & Royal Austria 25 September 2001, Belgrano,〔or General Belgrano〕 Argentina) was a Chairman of the Danube Swabian German Cultural Association (''Schwäbisch-Deutschen Kulturbundes'') in Yugoslavia in 1939 and an ''SS-Obersturmführer'' (First Lieutenant) during World War II. == Life == Janko was born on 9 November 1905, in Ernsthausen ((セルビア語:Ernestovac (Despotovac))), the son of a farmer holding a small plot. He studied law in Graz, Austria, and was a rather unassuming personality until his appointment to the presidency of the Cultural Association.〔Karner, Stefan, ''Die deutschsprachige Volksgruppe in Slowenien. Aspekte ihrer Entwicklung 1939-1997'', (Klagenfurt u. a. 1998), Anm. 95, Page.45 (nachfolgend zit. als: Karner, Die deutschsprachige Volksgruppe19) 〕 Sepp Janko was a moderate fascist in politics and on 6 June 1939 he was elected the president of the Swabian-German Cultural Association in Yugoslavia at the suggestion of the Reich agency Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle (VoMi). On 12 December 1940 Sepp Janko was awarded the Yugoslav Kronen-Orden Class III by the Prime Minister Cvetković. After the invasion of the Wehrmacht early in 1941, the Cultural Association was disbanded and VoMi organised the ''Deutsche Volksgruppe in Serbien und Banat'' (DVSB) under Janko's leadership. Janko was simultaneously appointed an SS Obersturmführer in the Nazi occupied Banat region of Serbia. "Like other wartime () minority organizations, the DVSB was restructured along the lines of the NSDAP. Its most important branch was the paramilitary formation, the Deutsche Mannschaft, which here, as elsewhere, came under control of the SS. Janko and the DVSB cooperated fully with VoMi, and as a step in the minority's total nazification, it even introduced a system of classifying the local Volksdeutsche similar to that used by the DVL in Poland."〔Valdis O.
