Lot 508:
STAMMBUCH OF SS-TOTENKOPF MEMBER SERVING AT DACHAU AND IN A SONDERKOMMANDO UNITService record of SS-Totenkopf Rottenfuhrer Horst Guse, 50pp. 8vo., setting forth all of the soldier’s personal information and his service record. Guse was born in 1922 and would die in the service in Aug. 15, 1942. The record shows that Guse was in Dachau from Oct. 17, 1939 until Apr. 30, 1940. On May 1, 1940 Guse was stationed at Weimar until June 20, 1941 and the next day he was transferred to the 2nd SS Sonder Battalion with whom he remained until his death on Aug. 15, 1942. Of course, the sonderkommandos were responsible for mass murders of Jews and civilians. Guse served in Holland and then fought partisans in Smolensk where it appears he was killed.
