Timeline

1904

Heinz Jost (9 July 1904 – 12 November 1964) was a German SS functionary during the Nazi era.

He was involved in espionage matters as the Sicherheitsdienst (Security Service) or (SD) section chief of office VI (foreign intelligence) of the Reich Security Main Office.

Heinz Jost was born in the northern Hessian Homberg (Efze) - Ortsteil Holzhausen - in Hersfeld in 1904, to a middle-class Catholic and nationalistic family.

Heinrich Jost, Heinz's father, was a pharmacist and later became a fellow NSDAP member.

1923

Jost attended grammar school in Bensheim, graduating in 1923.

As a student he became a member, and eventually a leader, of the Jungdeutsche Orden (Young German Order), a nationalistic paramilitary movement.

Jost studied law and economics at the Universities of Giessen and Munich.

1927

He completed his civil service examination in May 1927.

Heinz's legal career began as a legally trained civil servant employed in Hesse.

He later worked in the district court at Darmstadt.

1928

Jost joined the Nazi Party on 2 February 1928 with an NSDAP membership number of 75,946.

He performed various functions for the party's operations in southern Hesse.

1930

From 1930 he settled as an independent lawyer in Lorsch, Hesse.

1933

After the Nazi seizure of power in March 1933, Jost was appointed Director of Police in the city of Worms and then to police director of Giessen.

From this period came his association with Werner Best, who brought Jost into the main Nazi intelligence and security agency, the Sicherheitsdienst (SD).

1934

On 25 July 1934, Jost began his full-time career with the SD.

His SS membership number was 36,243.

1936

In May 1936, Jost was promoted in the SD Main Office to head Department III 2 (Foreign Intelligence Services).

1938

In 1938, Jost was head of the Einsatzgruppe Dresden which occupied Czechoslovakia.

1939

In August 1939 Jost was tasked by Reinhard Heydrich with obtaining the Polish uniforms needed for the false flag attack on the station in Gleiwitz.

When the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA) was established in September 1939, Jost was appointed as chief of Amt VI (Office VI) Ausland-SD (foreign intelligence).

One of the chief purposes of Amt VI was to counteract foreign intelligence services that might try to operate in Germany.

He also served as an SS officer in the German invasion of Poland in 1939.

Jost's career suffered by being linked with Werner Best, who was a rival of Reinhard Heydrich.

Best lost a power struggle with Heydrich who went on to become one of the most powerful men in the Nazi state.

1942

Jost was responsible for genocide in eastern Europe as commander of Einsatzgruppe A from March–September 1942.

After Germany's defeat, Jost was tried and convicted by a U.S. military court at the Einsatzgruppen trial.

In March 1942, Jost was fired from his position as Chief of Ausland-SD.

Jost's place was taken by Brigadeführer Walter Schellenberg, a deputy of Heydrich.

Heydrich had given Schellenberg the task of building up a case for Jost's removal.

According to Schellenberg, Jost was lacking in bureaucratic skill and drive.

Jost was sent to command Einsatzgruppe A, whose previous commander Franz Walter Stahlecker, had recently been killed in a battle with partisans.

Einsatzgruppe A was then operating in the Baltic States and in Belarus.

Jost became Befehlshaber der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD (Commander of the Security Police and the SD) or BdS in Reichskommissariat Ostland, with his headquarters at Riga.

Jost retained this position until September 1942.

According to Jost, this position carried substantial responsibility:

During the time the territory under his jurisdiction was subject to army control, Jost as Chief of Einsatzgruppe A cooperated with the army command.

When the territory came under civilian administration, he, as Commander in Chief of Security Police and SD received his orders from the Higher SS and Police Leader Friedrich Jeckeln.

In both cases Jost was responsible for all operations conducted in his territory.

1951

In December 1951, Jost was released from Landsberg Prison after his sentence was commuted to ten years and died in 1964.
