I don't understand the details of this report -- exactly who is murdering whom and why?
Are these Catholics murdering Orthodox?
Christians murdering Jews?
Nazis murdering civilians & clergy of any denomination?
Regardless, it is the first published report I can remember detailing mass murders in the Nazi empire.
We should also bear in mind that those who write books about "Hitler's Pope" focus much attention (fairly or unfairly?) on the Catholic Church's silence or active support for Nazi operations in Yugoslavia.
The Ustashi, the Croatian Fascists [largely Roman Catholic] are killing the Orthodox [mostly Orthodox] Serbs.
The Ustashi are the only people I’ve ever come across in my readings who were written up by the SS [in reports to Berlin] for brutality to prisoners-at least twice.
See Homers Nov 12, 1941 post about murders in Poland. 10K is only a fraction of what is reported by Homer today in the Balkans but still on a scale much larger than occasional reports of the 50 - 100 executed in France as reprisals for dead Germans:
