The SS-Obersturmbannführer Fritz Arlt (Niedercunnersdorf, April 12, 1912 – April 21, 2004, Seeg) was a key figure in the implementation of Nazi German racial policy in Leipzig,[1] before moving his operation to occupied Polish Upper Silesia region during World War II. He took over his post from SS-Obersturmbannführer Brunon Müller from RKF, in preparation for the forcible displacement of some 18,000–20,000 Polish nationals from around Żywiec, known as Action Saybusch.[2]
In November 1940, long before Wannsee Conference of 1942, Fritz Arlt proposed the enlargement of the KZ Auschwitz concentration camp for "evacuating" the Polish Jews in there from across the Generalgouvernement.[3]
