Cracow Progress of large-scale operation on 16 May 1943, start 1000 hours. 180 Jews, bandits, and subhumans were destroyed. The former Jewish quarter of Warsaw is no longer in existence. The large-scale action was terminated at 2015 hours by blowing up the Warsaw Synagogue. The measures to be taken with regard to the established banned areas were handed over to the commander of police battalion III/23, whom I instructed carefully. Total number of Jews dealt with 56,065, including both Jews caught and Jews whose extermination can be proved. No losses today. I will submit a final report to the Conference of SS Police Fuehrer on 18 May 1943. The SS and Police Fuehrer in the District of Warsaw. Signed: Stroop SS-Brigadefuehrer and Major general of Police. Certified copy: SS-Sturmbannfuehrer.
