In 1943 Bürkl, as "a sadist and a mass murderer", was convicted of crimes against the Polish nation by the Polish resistance's Special Courts, sentenced to death, and shot dead on the street of Warsaw in Operation Bürkl a part of Operation Heads.
The goal of the operation was to "liquidate" Franz Bürkl, a notorious Sicherheitspolizei officer who had been sentenced to death by the Polish Special Courts for the murder of at least several dozen people.

While the operation resulted in no losses for the resistance, the Nazis killed 20 inmates of Pawiak in a public execution in reprisal.
