 One "Selbstschutz" commander, Wilhelm Richardt, said in Karolewo (Karlhof) that he did not want to build big camps for Poles and feed them, and that it was an honour for Poles to fertilize the German soil with their corpses.There was visible enthusiasm for activities of the "Selbstschutz" among those involved in the action.Only in one case a "Selbstschutz" commander was relieved of duty after failing to finish his job with "only" 300 Poles executed.
