On September 17, 1940, the same day on which Hitler abandoned the idea of an invasion of Great Britain, Heydrich charged him to plan the elimination of anti-Nazi elements in Britain following a successful invasion by the Wehrmacht, since this task would be appointed to the RSHA, which included the SD. Among other things, his responsibilities included the detention of some 2,300 individuals immediately after the conquest of Britain by Germany. Their names came from a list previously compiled by Walter Schellenberg, at that time a part of the counter-intelligence apparatus of the SD. This list included British politicians, namely Winston Churchill and other members of the Cabinet, scholars like Sigmund Freud, even though he had died in September 1939, members of exiled governments, financiers such as Bernard Baruch and many other anti-Nazi elements. Accroding to William L. Shirer's book "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich", Churchill was to be placed into the hands of RSHA Amt VI (Foreign Intelligence), but most of the rest of the people on the list were to be placed into the hands of RSHA Amt IV (Gestapo).

Einsatzgruppen

After the Battle of Britain, Hitler gave up on his attempts to invade Great Britain and as such, Six's plans came to nothing. On June 20, 1941, Six was assigned as chief of Vorkommando Moscow a unit of Einsatzgruppe B in Russia. During this command, Six's kommando reported "liquidating" 144 persons. The report claimed "The Vorkommando Moscow was forced to execute another 46 persons, amongst them 38 intellectual Jews who had tried to create unrest and discontent in the newly established Ghetto of Smolensk.". He was promoted by Himmler himself on November 9, 1941 to SS-Oberführer for exceptional service in the Einsatz. On January 31, 1945 he was again promoted to SS-Brigadeführer. Dr. Six was tried as a war criminal at Nuremberg in the Einsatzgruppen trial of 1948. Unable to link him directly to any atrocities, he was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. A clemency court commuted this sentence to 10 years, and he was released in 1952.
