Alfred Spilker
Alfred Spilker served as commander of Sonderkommando Spilker in Warsaw. The profile reconstructs the person’s function in Warsaw, Wola and KL Warschau through documented office, decisions, supervision or operational conduct. It does not assign every crime committed by an institution or region to one individual.
Confirmed findings
- Spilker commanded Sonderkommando Spilker in Warsaw within the Security Police and SD apparatus.
- The canonical record assigns Spilker command, organisational and direct-perpetration responsibility; it links the later Sonderkommando to police selections for execution and activity during the Warsaw Uprising.
- Spilker died in 1945 and was never tried.
Place in the chain of responsibility
The profile identifies police selections and executions operating alongside combat units in western Warsaw. It does not transfer to Spilker every crime committed by those units or confuse his pre-uprising intelligence section with the later Sonderkommando.
Key events and mechanisms
- the activity of Sonderkommando Spilker during the Warsaw Uprising
- police selections for execution in western Warsaw
The circle records authority, function and agency. Several profiles may describe different parts of the same persecution chain, so profile-level totals must not be added together.
Postwar accountability
Spilker died in 1945 and was never tried.
Limits of the evidence
The IPN sources distinguish a pre-uprising intelligence section from the later Sonderkommando; acts must not be transferred between those structures without evidence. The precise circumstances of Spilker’s death also require further verification.
Sources
The source set combines institutional, archival, trial or scholarly material from at least two independent publishers.
