The SS officers limited the amount of ammunition the watchmen could carry because they were wary of the watchmen. The SS officers transferred the watchmen frequently between different camps in order to prevent them from building up local contacts or knowledge of the surrounding area. Moreover, some watchmen were in fact sympathetic to the Jews, limiting their violence to the minimum possible and even assisting with prisoners’ escape attempts.
