Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Sachsen " were separate from the camp commandant's staff, which supervised the daily operation of the camp. During this time the SS was a Nazi Party organization; it had no military responsibilities. As a corporal at Sachsenburg, Schellong supervised a platoon of guards and served as a Security Officer and a Reserve Officer on a rotating basis. As such, Schellong was in charge of security for the camp for 24-hour periods. 5 In early 1936 Schellong was temporarily assigned to the SS Guard Unit "Oberbayern " at Dachau Concentration Camp near Dachau, Germany. There he took a platoon leaders' training course. When he returned to Sachsenburg he took command of 30 men who guarded the camp. These guards supervised the prisoners at work sites. The guards were instructed to warn and then shoot to kill any escaping prisoner. They were aware of the treatment given prisoners and of their work and living conditions. As a rotating Security Officer, Schellong was in charge of security for the entire camp for 24-hour shifts. 6 Late in 1936 petitioner was transferred to the Dachau Concentration Camp and assigned to the Seventh Company of the Death's Head Unit "Oberbayern.”
