Julian Scherner, shown as the SS and Police leader of Krakow, was a Brigadier (Oberfüher) in the General (Allgemeine) SS whose career was marked with corruption and other criminal activities. He was repeatedly passed over for promotion to SS-Major General (Brigadefüher) and by the time of his tenure in Krakow in 1942, he had been an Oberfüher for nearly six years which was highly unusual for someone in his position. He was later charged with embezzlement and corruption and transferred into the reserves of the Waffen-SS as a Captain (this was not technically a demotion, since the Waffen-SS had a standard practice to give separate and lower combat ranks to General-SS members). He was killed in the last days of the war in April 1945.
