German AB-Aktion in Poland - Aftermath

Aftermath

After the war, many people responsible for organizing the AB Action were tried before the Nuremberg Military Tribunals. However, the majority of responsible German commanders were either killed or vanished during the war before being held legally accountable for their crimes. The exact numbers of victims, and the dates of the executions, the causes of death of the Polish intelligentsia members in German captivity, are often contested by other European historians who dismiss a similarity with the Katyn massacres.
