According to Soviet reports, in July-August 1942 groups of a dozen to several dozen “Soviet civilians” of various ages and of both sexes, most probably Jews, were taken to a cemetery in Bogodukhov and shot dead. In this case, too, the mass murder had been initiated by Braun, the local German military commandant, who also played an active role in the shootings themselves, alongside local auxiliary policemen.

On June 23, 1942, some 30 Jews of various ages and of both sexes, both from the town of Bogodukhov itself and from the Bogodukhov County, were taken into a pine forest near the tannery, several kilometers south of the town, and shot dead. The initiative for this massacre had come from Braun, the German military commandant of the town, while the primary perpetrators were local auxiliary policemen.
