sermon, prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant for a suspect behind a 2022 explosion on the north stream gas pipeline. it is believed that the ukrainian man was a diver who allegedly planted explosive devices and that's our time, by the name is the calls back said wow, thank you so much for joining in. welcome to don't hold bad. a lot of people do that. it's all about saying it aloud. that's what it being nosy bay, like good. everyone to king. check out the award winning called called the called back. the

a forest and ukraine. the scene of many thousands of murders the murderers who were from germany returned to hide their crimes. this time all they left behind where the smoking and charred remains of the dead discovered by a red army soldiers as they advanced. the nazis had tried to conceal their mass murders. nothing was supposed to remain only a few clues point to the secret on the come on those or special commando responsible for the cover up the operation. 1005 was actually the 1st state give

a holocaust denial because you could say there's nothing there. the levine is the largest city in western new cream. this lively metropolis in the historical region of calisha has a turbulent history. today, one of the city's darkest chapters is nearly invisible, including a shallow oak, is here investigating a history connected with his own family. the he's on the way to a former jewish ghetto. over 150000 people were in turned here after them off conquered the city. in 1941. they were guarded by ss units,

one of whom was a really good shot locks grandfather. a small memorial marks the atrocities committed by the nazis against the jewish population. here. do you think about deficiencies? direct this memorial is located directly at the entrance of the form, i guess. so all the total of $136000.00 people have perished during the german occupation. when the red army liberated the city 3 years later, there were only a few 100 jewish survivors and leave the perpetrators had fled. my goals for the common meaning also the grandfather came to the thief in june. 1941. come on to the 1st i'm, that's come under session and i was involved in various activities including unfortunately operation $1005.00 ice and during which the bodies of those executed were examined and burned. and then that means that the ss officer, advisors,

shylock, not only committed crimes, he was also involved in covering them up a report by the army high command merely states that special commando, $1005.00 had special tasks. what exactly did the special tasks entail? and what role did shylock play in the ominous special unit of his grandson wants to know the truth for years now. he's been researching his grandfather's deeds. they cast a dark shadow over the entire family almost 80 years after the end of the 2nd world war. the victims have not been forgotten. olga coolly bach now and her team have set off on a research trip to an area some 100 kilometers from levine. they've been preparing for this trip for months. they work for an international organization

which has set itself the task of finding forgotten sights of nazi war crimes. the group came across the ominous operation. 1005. they hope to find further traces in the small town of the bro mean, the researchers have tracked down a man who spend his entire life here. horse new york, 3 got little bitch who is almost 100 years old, still remembers the german occupation. clearly the fun result is of there was a high fence, you couldn't see anything that climbed onto a pile of wood and looked over. and i saw the cool year a very large hole. they've been dug there and the people were hurting to it. okay. and so to make it so i that's how they had to strip down to their underwear 1st.

yeah, no, i mean it's just a live people have to thought of literacy at the, at that moment a german soldier came and said they would shoot us if we didn't leave. why the fuck fit the tongue kind of with that book. so he remembers being afraid when the germans returned, he stayed away. life and the they came back with trucks. they loaded corpses to y'all, and that's for the neighbors. saw that this is the 1st time he's talking about it. how german soldiers reopened the graves to cover up the mass murders they forced prisoners of war to do the gruesome work here on this abandoned factory side. at the time defeat was

looming. the germans were afraid their crimes would be discovered. so you're still not been here. they were on the other side, there was a chicken coop. they took the jews there on foot or by car. i don't remember who do you have to kind of didn't know you are going. it is all the say, oh, that's kind of and then the german officer came and told the soldiers not to let anyone through the address. is there any way i could go ahead even keep out of the top of it? i ran otherwise they would have killed me too for love i shouldn't. is that correct? that's the only witness still alive today. aside from him, there is no one left who remembers the murder of some 500 jewish people here in the

bottom. i mean, in many places, special commando, $1005.00, succeeded in covering up almost every trace of their crimes. here only the pre war jewish cemetery remains a few weathered stone slabs. as the research in ukraine is prepared and coordinated here in paris by an organization that today has researched more than 2000 execution sites and world wide and collected more than 7000 testimonies based in the sam twan district. the group is called johan in on a combination of the hebrew word, johan, which means together, and the latin expression in on them. meaning in one sense seats. this is from the soviet commission. this is where we found the mass graves. yeah. and here you can see the train station with here

research trips to the sites of mass murders our plan. the sites are part of what is known as the holocaust by bullets, a term coined by catholic priest, patrick dubois, the organizations founder. he remains part of the groups leadership along with german lawyer and historian. under the 8 months key. you should see the with the views at through nick mall dealership in the beginning. the idea was to research the mass graves of jews who had been shots. we thought that wouldn't be many of what we would maybe make 2 or 3 trips. but after a year we were still in the same district because there were must graves in all of the villages so that complete. so we needed a very specialized forensic methodology. i guess you all came in that place specifically that the include case offer by the past my speech like working on a cold case. you have certain sources, you have archive material,

and you have books, you of historians who write articles. and with this as a basis, you can then look for people on the ground who saw what happened and confront them with it. and then with the help of these eye witnesses, you can find the exact location of the shooting. we also try to recreate the topography of the murder, you know, the, where it says we records all these points using a g p s and the size of your name. and all of these are posted on by the gps all. we only leave a location after we understand how the whole thing happened from dawn to dusk. all from is from them one column this to the ship, x or truck resistance, assuming converter troops up until the 19 ninety's them off to maintain that the image of the regular army, one that followed on hitler's orders,

but otherwise acted according to international rules of warfare. in fact, many of these combat units did not adhere to these rules. civilians have suffered the most sac, all say above all say only to what we are still investigating the details when it came, cuz the germans cool. so many people who that multi throw shooting alone, they killed over 2000000 people, the jews, gypsies, sophia prisoners, and thought good injuries, according to official figures. and so here the total is around $20000000.00 to so we have just as much to do as the task force has did that then or no thought the club i equity size as both the today, these unit stands for terror and the murder on hitler's orders finally, shimla setup 4 of these death squads task force a, b, c, n, d, made up of some 3000 demand and total. they followed the regular units on their

advance to the east. their task to find and destroy the enemy elements and the conquered territories. on the ground, they carried out what would later be institutionalized on an industrial scale and the concentration camps. the extermination of all jews. the trade cause of these murders were later covered up by the special commando, $1005.00, and leave to go. shylock is on his way to the former residents of his grandfather, ss 1st, officer of either shadow this building was the headquarters of the commander of the security police and the security service. later the special commando, 1005, operated from here taking some time to help defend the end. this was also the headquarters for communication with the union, right? so while the organization of executions, ghetto, evictions, and so on,

were planned them carried out here to football. sherlock's responsibility included the enough skilled labor camp where up to $15000.00 prisoners warren turned and subjected to arbitrary cruelty to entertain their tormentors. a camp orchestra even had to play for hours until their fingers bled. base the storm filled up as an officer. i think he was somewhere in the middle come on the level or a little below the candidate goals and come off one of the big leaders. sony found fault on from what he was responsible for many, many crimes at one of the functions well in their system could see that to me. it shylock was responsible for transporting prisoners from the another gun. labor camp to either the nazi extermination camps or the surrounding sandy hills.

the camp orchestra was forced to play the tangle of death a holocaust by bullets, the full cruelty of which is only becoming known today. mass murder, set to classical music, the and it wasn't just the squads, policeman and ordinary soldiers carried out atrocities, to, as described by a german corporal at a russian court martial ones, the government. so our group of 12 men was informed about the work by the group leader. what did he tell you? didn't you just said we were to gather the jews and shoot them on to the organizers of the mass. murder had planned to their crimes down to the last detail. how many people did you hear yourself shoot a movie of during this time? in the end of the 120 minutes,

the few memorials mark of the mass murders for decades, relatives had no place to remember or to mourn johan in on them wants to change that the researchers have found hundreds of execution sites where special commando, $1005.00 was unable to cover every trace, the another i witness lives here in a small hamlet close to the polish border. the 87 year old study slab of colo. she not remembers it. well. she was

a little girl on her way to the train station with her mother. so to just replace today's room, you must be filled up in us and it was still louisiana forest. the german soldiers stopped us and the zip was back back. he shouted to him and wouldn't let us through so often a live provider from a distance. we saw a lot of people dressed only in shirts. so the men in their underpants of cuz on that give you a few. so they had to go to this trench, what was the sole doctor didn't do much good. and there was the whole military young, the german soldiers in for food and they were shooting them, looked up with the shooting, the, the, what those to the shooting hills ocean looked like. it was terrible listener. we were scared when we saw the ash,

my mother cried me to do it. those motions of that type of show. no, we don't know a busier shift and then maybe a month later we should to i don't remember exactly that i was there again, there was a vehicle and they fenced off the whole area and covered it or to with the be curtain. and then they dug up the bodies, regardless of the people said they took the gold teeth so well. so the eye witnesses have carried these memories for decades? only now are they sharing them with the young people from far away? france, the

operation? 1005 surfaces repeatedly in connection with the atrocities committed by the nazis historian in berlin has been researching the secret operation. for many years under they undertake sits on the advisory board of johan in a world renowned expert. he's written 2 books on the subject. you have to and tell us offense operation 1005 was the order issued by the highest right. leadership at the beginning of 1942 for the my lives and just get us off. he does have tons to trace it back. exactly. awesome, great. but ultimately it goes back to learn self and so desire to remove and eliminate all mosque race and throughout all traces of most crimes. so in this case, they were to find the mass graves that can have them hoping to find these new destroyed bodies. and then let me destroy the graves. this is on the much on what form or with what technology. and however,

this undertaking was so secrets that they did not want to come up with an associate of code name for it took a lot of they simply named it after a phone number within the stopper before the next procedure. he's stuff on that side. in other words, 1005 was the 1000 and 5th, the case of the year 1942 on the dock. so operation, 1005 was named the task force a alone had reported murdering almost 220000 jews. traces of their massacres had to be removed by special commando, $1005.00. but the germans did not want to get their hands dirty. they forced their victims to for the nazis, they were not considered human. but tools that's what's the fun mention. and also the fits in the austin log on. this have to be carried out by people from outside. you wouldn't. they were taken out of the cups. they were mostly jews,

but they could also have been prisoners of war. they were considered objects fed things, feet, factors that were treated as the humanized would be objectified figures towards to be murdered after 2 weeks on board and according to protocol of property because they were secret bearer assisting the teeth of practical reasons. the supervisor perpetrators, stapo managed members of the security service for ordinary policemen lockwood, then insisted on keeping the objects alive longer the lesson because they worked relatively well with all but so these people were only murdered when their jobs ended. when i say within the last to be forced to climb up onto these piles with the bodies were burned down and slipped still. of these they were shot there. the lightning pop punk flooded and they were burned together with the bodies that they haven't previously retrieve top on. these are for us to the teeth of a what tom says on the top left words cannot describe it,

reported the few survivors. the one s s officer had planned to the gruesome logistics down to the last detail and was largely responsible for the power bill, but from zoning, a city known for blade making in a mountain region of germany. the he had initially studied architecture in the neighboring town of foot, todd is story, and we hired a coy, has spent a long time researching and writing about the work criminal fair talent. global was an architect. and he worked in this profession for quite a while. here in this region, so why are some of his houses still existing providers? how does that exist? you don't know for him. like many more criminals, howard global left his forge, why existence behind with the rise of the nazis. he committed himself entirely to

the nazis ideology and went from building houses to becoming the architect of the machinery of death. this is i probably not, i don't ties has written it down because i don't have the ability had been a member of the say since 1931 and rose to the ranks relatively quickly. he made a career in the s s apparatus on the special commando for a which he led is responsible for around $60000.00 murder jews. that part of the so called holocaust by bullets where people were killed on the spot for on some of the rockland leader as part of operation, 1005 global removed evidence that led directly to his own crimes. in bobby, in the german military photographer casually recorded the former surrounding the mass murders in the ravine near keith. only a few survivors were able to report what happened here,

a ukrainian witness named loued meal and put on each i have testified before the court martial then they started shooting the blizzard. i closed my eyes clenched my fist, tins all my muscles and jumped the fall seemed to taking a trinity. i landed on the bodies and was still alive with me when i was very cheerful. eventually, i managed to crawl to a wall of the ravine. it was very difficult to get to the top. yeah. today, trees grow in the bottom in yard ravine. but within the span of 48 hours, some $33000.00 jewish men, women and children were murdered. here for a long time. nothing marked the massacre in the park where keeps residents and

spend to their leisure time. the only in the early 19 ninety's was a memorial, erected the to mark the 80th anniversary of the mass murders, and by the large memorial, was held at the side a light installation projected images of those murdered onto the site. guests from all over the world, travel to keys, including the heads of state of both israel and germany had song and stine, maia, patrick did law and on the day of months can you weren't also there of the shots, the call which is 13 symphony named after bobbin yacht was played afterwards.

german presidents, 9 mile, recall the nazi attempts to cover up the massacre the data for the other suvan besides the guns, so less than the foot price. and so for the prison, the perpetrators tried to have all traces removed in order to cover up their crimes . but they couldn't be removed. the evidence remains in the shadows of the crimes, the scars of war are still visible today. this is another reason why we must remember this without honest remembrance, there was no good future honest remembrance, a painful process for the descendant of one of the perpetrators. after traveling into the past, returning to every day, life is difficult, the good

shallow lives in humbug. he grew up in nearby slat specialist time his grandfather was from team a city and what is now poland. he only came to northern germany after the war is war time passed was taboo for a long time. it took decades to uncover the family secret. he's still putting pieces of the puzzle together. is it you have someone who does everything and i actually have very few pictures of my grandfather here. we see him here on the left as a young, good looking man at that time and being a member of the n s t a p for 3 years, i think was a member of the ss here is this fiance?

yeah, service i looked at this is one of the few photos from the 60s, which i can be seen together with my father and i saw a relatively little of him in my in my childhood time is usually like team name is gap top mine father and one and what, how much my father and mother separated fairly early on. i mean even gone once in that someone's expertise. my father moved out in 1965 and often the origin of thoughts was actually due to what's my grandfather had done? scott, this is something i confirmed through my research to become is got the i can step wherever events during the time my grandfather was in the movies that my father must have witnessed as a small child of mine fought out. i'd switch through his life off course to puzzle thoughts for this assault on leaving also behind these things. naturally left certain impressions on me not to refuse. things still have an effect of the stuff. it's like this memorial interview thing to have always killed in the ghetto, and the me starters done been the wound never. he lost it and this kettles,

the one guy with me. the research is also a kind of therapy. now it is occupied his spare time for years. as a picture has gradually emerged harrowing documents including those that relate to operation. $1005.00 lead deeper and deeper into the family secrets connections are still emerging the trial of, of ice month. one of the key figures and what's known as the final solution of the jewish question. he was tried in jerusalem in 1961. 1 of the witnesses was a man named legal invalid hska. as a 16 year old, he was a prisoner in louisiana of scott can help reduce the

it was a will of a sponsibility that somebody has to tell to tell the well to beat the remaining and also will all the paddling exactly said that idea of the whole not system was the chill on to do the let's go, had to work for the special command, a $1005.00 undervalued to shylock 2 years later, after adopting the name wells, he wrote a book and spoke publicly about it. it was on the come on the policy if i thought why trump will be doing, i'm diag old like today's to clean out all these bodies and bands and my my pie and take out the gold from gold teeth. we had

different clips and so that they gave one quote per box. so they can quote to either global was carrying the corpses to, to what we laid off and what and bad them one of the all toward enough to works bodies of to it's next. what after web bodies and to, and not to was when it was high and all thought about 2000 bodies. you're put on cameras. so you know, but and you said that the higher aspects of pyre was finished. that was not that cool. that was called ash cloud met color on there of anxious to talk to ashes and to go or any valuable to wed. take no. the architects of death thought of everything,

even the unthinkable. this was a bone male. even the last remnants of the corpses burned at the stake or to disappear and their valuables, sifted out. dubois found the gruesome machine in an extermination camp and brought it to paris. so that the program because it gets computers, so it is. what do you do with the remains of the phones? so imagine, you know, these are 12, is there is a co found, these machines pounds i can do is that the village, the civic e mail plus bodies that was employed by the germans. we don't have the money to pay for locals, that's a hand over the mills. they used to separate barley from wheat and is that most of the germans didn't replace the grids and set them up in the extermination. come as young and fuzzy on the jews were dead and burned for on ashes, but puts in there for work really be you to find all the gold teeth. they still

have a resource to a to, to the the blah has been publishing his findings on the holocaust by bullets for years. he is the face of johan in on them. in the meantime, many young researchers who have taken on leading roles and where they get an uh la quinta, sikes. i think jeff was kimberly, they don't call in addition to basic research, the trips to the crime scenes are coordinated here in paris. i know was difficult to treat or less and you had them in the sort of the hot yeah. hot and one of them is now involved in the search for mass graves and the reconstruction of forgotten crimes worldwide. as it makes, i might as, as well, that's the timeline on fines in the well 1st of all, we are now in association with around 25 people here in paris. the nice thing is

that there are many young people from different nations and that the french are in the minority schools. and we have colleagues from eastern europe, guatemala, and the usa. and that has always been the strength of the associations. that was one of the stuff for me because we quickly realized that it can't always just be about one nation. astonished them on the line is that you need connections to the countries in which we work. that's how to achieve success in our life. and those who come on the thoughts item of employees from all over the world meet in paris on 3 months key often travels here from his home in cologne, where he works as a lawyer, campaigning for human rights activists all over the world. for him, the work is closely related the past leads directly to the present the, the,

the part of it was after i, it's my, i'm, i'm kind of kind of his father do by one said you can build a europe on mass graves. you have to imagine that people are still buried like animals in these countries. they weren't never properly buried their families, their relatives, their descendants don't even know where they are and, and many of these places are not even marked online like this means that aside from some of these eye witnesses, no one else even knows exactly where these places are the special thing is that what we have heard repeatedly is not what do you want. so why are you interested? instead of much more surprising question? people always said why you only coming now. i've waited so long for you. i'm so old . now i've forgotten so much. yes, finish one's eyes. why weren't you here 10? 2030 years ago and you show what's in sunset prices. yeah, yeah. those who lived in the immediate vicinity of

a shooting site often witnessed the crimes by chance. despite the fact that the occupying forces ordered them not to leave their homes, the eye witnesses still alive today were children at the time. so far. yeah. how didn't williams researchers have identified thousands of crime? seems local teams visit the sites twice a year? maybe there's someone at the school or in the community, but most of them are already dead. so you have trouble with this was once doing fed where german colonists lived in the former kingdom of alicia, to belong to austria. under the nazis jews here were hunted down

this almost 90 year old woman remembers that she was still a child. i couldn't remember a long line of people, men, women, and children marching through the village. i thought it was a festival or some kind of parade. later i asked my aunt and she said, yes, be sure that's how they drove the jews out for the ion. uh tragic on it. you know, nothing remains of the towns former jewish inhabitants. but there is a ruined cemetery on the edge of the village until the war, germans and ukrainians, jews, or not lived on good terms. the weathered inscription reeds, the

no final resting place was found for their fellow citizens, neighbors and friends who are victims of national socialist, racial ideology. victims of people like volunteers shut off. his grandson, visits a risk site. a simple poster at the bus stop marks the on of sky labor camp on the outskirts of leave today it is a dense forest. back then thousands of prisoners were shot and buried in the sandy hills. later, the mass graves were desecrated again as part of operation. 1005. all human remains were removed. a simple memorial stone commemorates at least 50000 victims. other estimates put the number of dead as high as 200200. because there is

a few method extra control and stopped the phone. many, many mess executions took place here. i want a quote for look down here in front of me. you can also see something of the geography ta where to place this one. it's a valley help here. well my, my grandfather was also active here at the end of the exclamation and cremation. of the dead was carried out here on a large scale and then goes on. finally, the listing for good news data is for me for these types is able to not of times i do, the combination of the journey is really very emotional for me. at times. on the one hand, i get a lot of new information that spurs me on to do more research and look deeper into certain things. but there are also moments when i am simply very moved. the i have to do with that, i'm an old, intervene a whether the plaque is all that marks the actual cam.

so we to get shylock would have liked a more dignified memorial. so even though this time is also, can we keep this where we've just watch how smooth it looks like a garbage dump in places people come here to dump their household waste on this scale to municipality, the status, whoever is responsible for it's when the goose does nothing to preserve a commemorate, displace, keeping, putting things. but this may be changing as if hearing his wish, a delegation from the american state department appears that same day. they are equally surprised by the chance encounter. we're here. did you were sites in would be to move to memory to victims and to make sure that the ground only places will be preserved. my grandfather has been one of the traders.

he was from the 1st day of the city. so 10 years more than 10 years ago and started research since then i'm coming back to the 2nd time here to continue with this work that's really must be very difficult for you. but that's really admirable that you are looking into what happens to working on. definitely gonna, it's gonna be for other people as well to, to keep it for the future. my kids are back to this other one. the

video shot lock wants to return to ukraine. in fact, he's already planned his next visit. in germany, he's discovered what happened to his grandfather after the war, a bite to shallow, made it through the countries the notification process without issue. not only that in full sticks, i've had to act in all kinds of if you have with my whole state of the 1950s he applied for compensation. that's why you think someone who had been involved in the war on that's to say, there were certain procedures and opportunities for obtaining financial compensation for what you had suffered during the war. so it made me think too much done then. how can you be so hard boiled and cynical adjustment to basically wipe away everything that's happened for alice less than if i see it is vacant? i think now i'm doing what i can do, even give it all as much as i can,

and keeps cutting up so few weeks will come in 1961. shylock was brought to trial. after all, he managed to evade the proceedings due to an allegedly serious illness. he lived freely in celeste space holstein until his death in 1974. the crimes had already caught up with his superior power bill by the tires the murderers and the attempts to cover them up the architect of death and was arrested on the run and put on trial unknown back. the sentence was death by hanging on june 7th. 1951. he was hanged along with 6 other war criminals. the last death sentences to be carried out on german soil the
