In a 1942 letter to Karl Wolff, chief of the personal staff of Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, Turner indicated the murderous nature of Schutzstaffel (SS) activities in the occupied territory. In the letter he indirectly indicated that he intended to use vehicles most likely equipped with gas to murder Jews. In 1946, Turner was extradited to Yugoslavia where he was tried and convicted. He was executed in 1947.) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harald_Turner> Arendt, H. Eichmann in Jerusalem, 2006: page 184 (In August 1942, Staatsrat Harald Turner, head of the civilian branch of the military government, reported proudly that Serbia was "the only country in which the problems of both Jews and Gypsies were solved," and returned the gas vans to Berlin.)
