Popis: It is still unclear, who instigated the arrest of scholars at the Jagiellonian University and the Mining Academy, which occurred in Kraków on 6 November 1939 – two months after the beginning of German occupation of Poland. SS-Sturmbannführer Bruno Müller, the head of task force of German Security Police and Security Service (Einsatzkommando 2/I), who commanded this operation, had been definitely carrying out an order issued by his superiors. The content of this order and the identity of the person who issued it, remain unknown. Some new findings from the German Federal Military Archive in Freiburg im Breisgau let us suppose that the instigator of the arrest of scholars in Kraków was Otto von Wächter, who at that time was the governor of Kraków district, the highest representative of the German occupation authorities in the city, before Hans Frank, the head of the General Government, moved to Kraków on 7 November.
