The decree stated that escaped Allied prisoners of war, especially officers and senior non-commissioned officers, should be handed over to the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) who should execute them, "im Rahmen der Aktion Kugel", in Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp. This order was in direct contravention of the provisions of the Third Geneva Convention. An exception was made for escaped British and American prisoners of war. Their fate was to be decided by the German High Command (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht) on a case-by-case basis. The bullet decree was later amended to include British soldiers after the "Great Escape" from Stalag Luft III of 25 March 1944. The number of escaped prisoners of war executed by the Kugel-erlass is not precisely known; estimates vary between 1,300 and 5,040 executed. The vast majority of these prisoners of war came from the USSR. Five escaped Dutch officers are known, and four more are suspected, to have been executed in Mauthausen as a result of the Kugel-Erlass. ReferencesSee also
