WW2 German Nazi large Polish Poster by the WAFFEN SS POLICE about EXECUTIONS of resistance supporters RARE

This is a World War II occupation-era poster printed on green paper, issued by the German authorities (SS and police) in Kraków in 1944.
The layout is divided into two vertical sections with large, bold headlines:

On the left, in German, the headline “BEKANNTMACHUNG!” (“Announcement!”) appears in large black letters.
On the right, in Polish, the equivalent “OBWIESZCZENIE!” is printed, also in bold.

Below each headline, the text explains punitive measures taken by the Nazi authorities. The German and Polish texts mirror each other, addressing both populations.

Content summary:
The poster announces executions and repression carried out by the German occupation forces.
It states that members of the Polish population (including intellectuals and resistance supporters) have been arrested and shot.
The text justifies these actions as retaliation for acts of resistance, sabotage, or attacks against German forces.
It serves as a warning that further acts against the occupiers will result in collective punishment and more executions.
At the bottom, it is signed by “Der SS- und Polizeiführer im Distrikt Krakau” (SS and Police Leader in the Kraków district), emphasizing authority and intimidation.

Visual characteristics:
The use of green paper and black print makes it highly visible in public spaces.
The typography is stark and official, designed to convey authority and fear.
The bilingual format ensures both German officials and the occupied Polish population understand the message.

Purpose:
This type of poster was used as a tool of terror and control, aiming to intimidate civilians, discourage resistance, and demonstrate the power of the occupying Nazi regime.
