3. Other Groups of Persons
The following gives detailed particulars concerning the number of Protectorate Nationals, Poles and Jews, as well as racial Jews brought to trial in Greater Germany (exclusive of the Alpine and Danube Gaue) in 1942.
| Protectorate Nationals | Poles and Jews | Racial Jews | |
| Persons brought to trial | 13,060 | 63,786 | 1,613 |
| Juveniles brought to trial | 482 | 5,169 | 44 |
| Percentage of persons brought to trial | 3.7 | 8.1 | 2.7 |
| Convicted persons | 12,117 | 61,836 | 1,508 |
| Percentage of persons brought to trial | 92.8 | 96.9 | 93.5 |
| Acquitted | 871 | 1,816 | 74 |
| Percentage of persons brought to trial | 6.7 | 2.8 | 4.6 |
| Persons previously convicted | 2,493 | 4,237 | 266 |
| Percentage of total convicted | 20.6 | 6.9 | 17.6 |
| Persons with more than 4 previous convictions among these | 766 | 593 | 43 |

The figures given above concerning the convictions of Poles and Jews, refer exclusively to convictions according to the Penal Ordinance for Poles, that is to say, mainly to such crimes which have been committed in the Incorporated Eastern Territories. However, crimes are also included which have been committed in other districts of the German Reich by Jews and Poles, who on 1 September 1939 had their residence or permanent abode in the territory of the former Polish state (No. XIV of the Penal Ordinance for Poles).[365]
Contrary to expectations, the quota of Poles and Jews previously convicted is low; this can first of all be explained by the fact that some of the criminal records were destroyed in the eastern territories; furthermore that during the fighting in autumn 1939, the Poles opened the doors of the penitentiaries and released dangerous criminals who, in most cases, turned criminals again and were brought before the German summary courts; a great number of those retaken, against whom fresh violations of the law could not directly be proved, were sent to concentration camps as a preventive measure. In both instances, therefore, persons who had previous convictions were thus omitted from the census of criminal statistics. Taking these points into consideration, the quota of Poles and Jews previously convicted has still to be regarded as comparatively high.
Particulars concerning the most important punishable actions, committed by the above mentioned groups of persons which have led to a conviction, can be obtained from chart I B.
With regard to the penalties imposed upon them by the courts a total of 1,138 Protectorate Nationals, Poles, and Jews, as well as Jews by race were sentenced to death during the current year according to chart 2. These figures include 930 Poles and Jews sentenced under the crimes ordinance for Poles. The total number of penal servitude sentences, imposed for limited periods of time, against Protectorate Nationals and Jews by race amounts to 2,237 and the jail sentences amount to 7,321. By virtue of the criminal ordinance for Poles the sentence of penal camp for hard labor was imposed in 2,017 cases and that of regular penal camp in 43,180 cases.
The total fines imposed, amount to 20,694.
85 defendants had their property confiscated.
