| AFFIDAVIT OF HEINZ HERMANN SCHUBERT, 24 FEBRUARY 1947, CONCERNING THE EXTERMINATION OF JEWS IN RUSSIA* | |
| I, Heinz Hermann Schubert, swear,
declare, and depose — 1. I was born on 27 August 1914 in Berlin. I attended schools in Eisenberg-Thuringia and Berlin-Lichterfelde, including the vocational school. I left school in March 1931, having received the Obersekundareife [certificate after attending equivalent to 10th year of secondary school]. From April 1931 until August 1933 I worked in a lawyer's office. From 1933 on I was civil servant at the delegation of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen to the Reich. On 10 October 1934 1 became civil servant of the security service. On 1 May 1934 I was transferred by the Hitler Youth to the Party, and my membership number is 3,474,350. On 10 October 1934 I joined the SS, membership number 107,326. 2. In October 1941 I was assigned to the Einsatzgruppe D. Otto Ohlendorf was the chief of the Einsatzgruppe and Willy Seibert his deputy. I was assigned as adjutant to Ohlendorf and stayed in this position from the time of my arrival until the end of June 1942. At this time Ohlendorf as well as I was recalled to the Reich Main Security Office in Berlin. 3. In December 1941 — I do not remember the exact date — I was assigned by Ohlendorf or Seibert to supervise and inspect the shooting of about 700 to 800 people, which was to take place in the close vicinity of Simferopol. The shooting was undertaken by the special Kommando 11b, one of the formations of the Einsatzgruppe D. My task in connection with the shooting consisted of three parts — |

a. to see that the location of the shooting be remote enough, so that there could be no witnesses to the shooting; |
