He appears on the list of perpetrators prepared by a US war crimes investigator that was transmitted to Poland on November 6, 1946, as well as in various other documents concerning crimes at Auschwitz. In Muench’s case, however, Polish authorities made a strong push for apprehension. His formal extradition was requested by the Poles on September 30, 1946, even though they did not know his whereabouts (Muench Extradition File, NARA: RG466). OSI also discovered a list of 193 individuals whose extradition was requested by Poland (French Foreign Ministry Archives; see appendix, p. 102); this listing and the Wanted Report issued by ‘the Poles identifies Muench’s whereabouts as ‘unknown’. Following the issuance of the Wanted Report, Muench’s name was carried on the Third Army Wanted List for January 1947. He was apprehended and ultimately extradited to stand trial in Poland.
