Ludwig Karl Hermann von Schröder (12 September 1884 – 28 July 1941)[1] was a Luftwaffe General who served as the second Military Commander in the Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia.[2][3]
As the military commander in Serbia, on 31 May 1941 he ordered the registration of the Jews and Gypsies, who had to be registered and carry a yellow armband as a means of identification.[1] This order also contained a ban on the free exercise of professions and exclusion from the public service and private companies.[4] This was followed by the command of the military administration to do forced labor.[4] The Nazi measure to register Jewish assets was also carried out to facilitate the later "aryanization" (de-Jewification).[4] With these orders by Schröder, anti-Jewish persecution measures were standardized in the entire occupied Serbia.[4] Schröder died in the Hohenlychen SS hospital, where he had been transported on 23 July after an airplane accident in Belgrade.[2][5]
