SS Heimwehr Danzig

The Heimwehr Danzig took part under German Army command[2] and in the process captured the Polish post office after fifteen hours; an event which Günter Grass dedicated a chapter of his novel The Tin Drum to.

On 8 September members of the SS Heimwehr Danzig killed 33 Polish civilians in the village of Książki.

[3] On 30 September 1939, the Heimwehr became part of the 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf, forming the cadre of its artillery regiment.

The SS Wachsturmbann Eimann committed a number of massacres in the region between Kartuzy and Wejherowo from 13 September 1939.

The Nazi government also employed it for "special police tasks" in the new Reichsgau Danzig-Westpreußen, which means it was used to persecute and imprison Polish Jews.
