Josef Jarolin
Josef Jarolin served as report leader and third protective-custody camp leader at Dachau, later commandant of Allach. The profile reconstructs the person’s function in Dachau and Allach 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

Place in the chain of responsibility
The profile grounds attribution in his admission and the trial record, not in rank alone; it does not assign him every execution or every act of violence at Dachau and Allach. (Source: cited institutional or judicial record)
Key events and mechanisms
- In 1941 he participated in the murder of 1500 Soviet prisoners of war at the Hebertshausen firing range. (Source: cited institutional or judicial record)
- On 13 December 1945 a US military court sentenced him to death. (Source: cited institutional or judicial record)
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
A US military court sentenced him to death on 13 December 1945; he was executed at Landsberg on 28 May 1946. (Source: cited institutional or judicial record)
Limits of the evidence
The figure of 1500 refers only to his admitted participation in the Hebertshausen execution and is not presented as a complete victim total for Jarolin. No portrait with clearly documented publication rights was found. (Source: cited institutional or judicial record)
