Are you talking about the NT here?
He is trying to pass off a virtual remembrance page, describing a memorial day in present-time Vilnius, that talks of a killing of a German soldier, leaving his corpse in an intersection, as describing the same incident that was described in 2 German sources from 1941 as an alleged shooting at an SD building with no known victims.
His link, Virtual Shtetl, has this for Vilna in 1941: "The history of this place is very turbulent. On 10 July 1941, in Vilnus, on the corner of Wielka and Szklana street, a corpse of a German soldier was found. Jews were accused of the murder and, the same day, 123 people were executed. In his diary, Herman Kruk describes that there was a pogrom of Jews from Jatkowa and Szklana street." Note: There is no source, no attribution for this information, just this rehash gloss on probably a number of half-digested sources. Kruk's material, for example, is from September, not July. (Nor did Kruk write Szklana – he wrote Glezer!)
Here is one German report, from Ditfurth of the 403rd Security Division, on the July incident (which bunny tried dating to early September in a discussion earlier this year): "VIII.) Judenfrage
Geheime Feldpolizei und Sicherheitsdienst (SD) wirken zusammen bei der Bekämpfung jüdischer Übergriffe. Sämtliche Juden sin durch Abzeichen gekennzeichnet. Eine grosse Zahl von Erschiessungen hat bereits stattgefunden. Ich habe mit dem sehr loyalen Führer des SD, Obersturmbannführer Dr Filbert, vereinbart, dass diese Erschiessungen möglichst unauffällig statfinden und der Truppe verborgen bleiben. Als vorgestern nacht, angeblich auf das Unterkunftgebäude des SD, Schüsse abgegeben worden waren, liess der SD am Sonntag 300 Juden erschiessen. Dies sollte zur Abschreckung der Bevölkerung durch Anschlag bekannt gegeben werden. Dies habe ich verhindert. Trotzdem erschien eine kurze Notiz darüber in der hier von der Propaganda-Komp. herausgegebenen Soldatenzeitung ‘Der Durchbruch’, was beweist, dass die Prop.-Komp. noch nicht gelernt hat, mit der Division zusammen zu arbeiten."
[The book Holocaust in Litauen explains this as follows: "Ditfurth and his staff had no problems with the murders. In a report issue in mid-July the commandant summarized his successes so far in the field of Jewish policy like the obligation to carry an identification mark and the rations 50 % lower than those of the remaining population. He further noted that GFP and SD were working 'together in fighting Jewish aggressions', and added as a clarification that a large number of executions had already taken place. Ditfurth’s only concern was that these actions were obviously not approved by the troops like they were by himself. For this reason he agreed with Filbert 'that these shootings should take place as inconspicuously as possible and remain concealed from the troops.' Even more explicitly Ditfurth formulated his priorities with regard to a so-called reprisal action by the SD on 11 July, in which about 300 Jews had been murdered. Although obviously not convinced by the pretext of shots 'allegedly fired on the SD accommodation building', he avoided not the execution, but the poster announcement of the 'punishment measure' intended by Filbert as a deterrent."]
So in bunny's Virtual Shtetl link we have the corpse of a slain German soldier who was supposedly shot in an intersection - Wielka and Szklana - on 10 July. Again, this is compiled by an unknown person using unknown sources on a non-academic remembrance Website. In one German document we have something else entirely - shots at SD barracks, I presume, without any location given and without anyone reported hit. (Arad, Ghetto in Flames, p 77, also says no one was hit. Based on the Filbert trial - Filbert was the leader of the Einsatzkommando squad which carried out the reprisal, Arad also describes the alleged incident, round-up, and shootings. p 78)
The second document is OSR 24, one of the Einstatzgruppen Reports which bunny once promised to provide a case against; OSR 24 contained this about the July incident: "Einsatzkommando 9 Location: Vilinius . . . Because of a short surprise fire fight against the Vilnius Security Police Headquarters a special liquidation was carried out in excess of daily liquidation quotas." OSR 24 was dated 16 July 1941.
In the 2 German reports, then, we have “shots allegedly fired” or a brief "fire fight,” location given as Security Police building (not an intersection), no reports of any deaths let alone that of single "German soldier," no corpse in an intersection, and a reprisal carried out against the Jewish community, with 300 victims. There is no street location given in the OSR or in the Ditfurth report (I have seen different addresses given for the EK headquarters in Vilna, none at the intersection of Szklana and Wielka). None of this prevents the bunny from using the Virtual Shtetl write-up (by persons unknown using sources unknown, of a German shot dead in an intersection) in his continued campaign to try creating mystery around the July and September actions in Vilna.
Basically, a commemorative page got things mixed up. That's the headline here. And the proper response is: so what?
By the way, as noted above, we also know there was a trial of the leader of the EK9 squad carrying out the action (which I haven't been able to find online).
