The arrest on 6 November 1939 of the entire staff of professors and academics of the Jagiellonian University and other academic institutions and their subsequent deportation to Sachsenhausen concentration camp called '' Sonderaktion Krakau '' resulted in widespread condemnation worldwide . Wächter publicly criticised the action which took place without his knowledge and reportedly tried to free the academics . Nevertheless , due to the " Special action Krakow " , he was indicted by exiled Poles in New York on 16 October 1942
