He was also in charge of the cleanliness and order within the barracks that housed Jewish prisoners of #REDIRECT Sonderkommando. During his time in Sobibór he was directly involved in the executions of at least 86,000 people. When on trial, he claimed "On the question why I was present on the ramp during the transports, I declare that it was out of curiosity. I wanted to confirm myself of the cruelty of the 'Endlösung' and report my impressions to Berlin in order to be relieved. In no case, I was actively involved in Sobibor. Mostly I had an aversion to the rough manner in which the Ukrainians went about. They were exceptionally cruel " For unknown reasons Schütt was arrested and sent to prison for six years. He fought in the eastern front near the end of WWII. He survived. The remainder of his life, his whereabouts and if he is alive or dead today is unknown.]].
