25.09.1941 Böhme orders Hinghofer, commander of the 342. ID, to clear the main base of the Šabac partisans. As early as 1914, the k.u.k. army had committed incredible barbarities here. Böhme did not want k.u.k. FM Conrad von Hötzendorf fail with his punitive expedition. Thus, Hinghofer captures 4,459 male civilians until 27.09.1941, who are deported to the Jarak concentration camp (north of Šabac, built by Pi.Btl. of the 342. Infanterie-Division) on Croatian soil. Before that, 75 men had been shot dead in Šabac and 5 had died. Even before the march to the concentration camp, more than 80 prisoners were shot because of "resistance". The march of the 5,000 men (the Jews from Šabac had arrived) is known as the "blood march". However, Jarak does not stay long because of the unfavorable military situation and retreats to the provisional concentration camp in Šabac, on the march to which 150 people are said to have been shot dead
27.09.1941 the forthcoming action is issued a divisional order: the entire male population aged 14 to 70 years is arrested; that means the murder or imprisonment of all Serbian men (of all "Freischärler/volunteers")
27.09.1941 - 09.10.1941 Purging of the Save-Drina Triangle. After the action 1,127 civilians were shot dead, 21.440 were arrested and taken to the Šabac concentration camp, 88 were killed in action (own casualties: 1 killed)
Since the armed opponent can escape, the action failed militarily.
09.10.1941 - 15.10.1941 Action in the Cer mountains, enemy losses: 546 dead, 1,081 civilians shot dead, 4,295 men transferred to the Šabac concentration camp
21.10.1941 Massacre in Krupanji. 1,800 people are murdered by the 342. ID
19.11.1941 Hinghofer is deposed by Böhme as commander of the 342. ID ("Kampf"-Division) and demoted to commander of the 717. ID (occupation division) in exchange with Paul Hoffmann
Overall balance of the 342. ID until the end of 10.1942:
At least 4,408 civilians were shot dead and 25,735 were sent to the Šabac concentration camp. Agricultural resources were requisitioned, e.g. 1,505 cattle
