The SS also intended to arrest the leadership of the British Boy Scouts, including many of the boys.

Tthe proposed Commander of this operation was SS Brigadefuehrer Franz Six. Six was subsequently appointed as the SS Officer in charge of Moscow [upon its capture]. Aside from those to unrealized appointments, Six refused command of an Einsatzgruppe in the USSR, with no retaliatory action taken.

His time as commander of the never utilized Vorkommando Moscow of Einsatzgruppe B did cost him though. He was tried in 1948 in the Einsatzguppe trials and though brief time in the unit made it impossible to convict him of any direct atrosities (which led to death sentences to the likes of Blobel, Ohlendorf, and Naumann amoung others) he was still sentenced to 20 years imprisonment for his involvement with the Einsatzgruppe and the SD. This was later commuted to 15 years in 1951.
