As a former student official, he brought along with him to the SD a great many young Nazi academics who went on to mass murder against the Soviet Union after the war broke out. Among them were Dr. Walter Stahlecker, Dr. Martin Sandberger, Dr. Erwin Weinmann, Albert Rapp, Erich Ehrlinger, and Eugen Steimle, all of whom went into various divisions of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt (RSHA) to become leaders of murder squads of the various Einsatzgruppen. 1935 (MCMXXXV) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will take you to calendar). ... 1939 (MCMXXXIX) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will take you to calendar). ...

Scheel's further rise within the Nazi repression apparatus kept on unabated. In 1941, he was already an SS Brigadeführer and a Police Major General. In the same year, he was installed as Gauleiter and Reich Governor (Reichsstatthalter) in the Gau of Salzburg.

In 1943 he took a position against the White Rose (Weiße Rose) resistance group by declaring that its members should be "executed not as students", but rather as "antisocial former Wehrmacht members".

After an appeal proceeding in 1952, Scheel was classified as a Belasteter ("bonded one").

He was released on 17 June 1953. On 3 December 1954, his trial was suspended for want of any adequate suspicion of wrongdoing.
