Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:
Information obtained postwar on Felix Landau, probably after his arrest by Americans in 1946. The Gendarmerie command in Gramastetten had requested information. Message states that Landau is pending legal proceedings for serious war crimes committed in Poland, “including…suspicion of many murders of Jewish deportees.”
Landau had been arrested by Americans in 1946, placed in Glasenbach prison, but escaped in 1947. He would be arrested again in 1959, condemned to life imprisonment in 1962, and pardoned in 1973.
