Dr Heinz Thilo, selections at Auschwitz Birkenau. Needs more info.

The Hungarian authorities undoubtedly bear responsibility for the destruction of two-thirds of Hungarian  Jewry. Without the enthusiastic operation of the gendarmerie, the police and the public administration directed by the  government collaborating with the invaders, the Nazis would not have been able  to deport 430,000 people to Auschwitz in just a matter of weeks.  The  implementation of the anti-Jewish decrees, the ghettoisation and deportation  generally were carried out with the utmost cruelty of the authorities. The  gendarmerie treated the Jews especially brutally.

Lieutenant General Gábor Faragho, d 1953. Was in command of these deportations.

Professor David Cesarani, author of Justice Delayed, a book that explains how the UK came to grant citizenship to numerous Nazi collaborators from Eastern Europe in the post-war years, says both Britain and the US knowingly recruited war criminals to fight the Cold War.

Recently declassified US documents show US intelligence often hunted Nazi war criminals in order to use them, rather than to bring them to justice, he says.

Erich Steidtmann (November 15, 1914 – July 25, 2010) was a Nazi SS officer believed to have been involved in the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the largest single revolt by the Jews during the Holocaust, the bulk of which occurred from April 19 until May 16, 1943, ending when the resistance was crushed by German troops under the direct command of Jürgen Stroop. Efforts were being undertaken by German prosecutors in the months before his death to prosecute Steidtmann for his involvement in war crimes.

SS-Hauptsturmführer Ernst Möhs  or Moes? (1898-1945)was Eichmann’s liaison-officer in Theresienstadt. At least 33-35,000 Jews are known to have died in Theresienstadt. Some were sent to die in Maly Trostinets.

More on the Aufseherin or female nazi guards:

The majority of women prisoners, however, arrived in 1944 and 1945 from other camps, mainly Auschwitz, Ravensbrück, and Bergen Belsen. Only one barrack was set aside for them; this was overseen by the female block leader (Blockführerin) Franziska Hoengesberg, who came from Essen when it was evacuated Franziska Hoengesberg (born February 6 1900), the SS guard at two concentration camps during World War II

Erna Petermann (born 1912) was a high ranking female overseer at two Nazi concentration camps during the closing of World War II.

Little is known about Erna Petermann, other than that she trained at the men’s camp at Mittelbau-Dora sometime in 1944. The SS promoted Peterman to the rank of Lagerführerin (Female Camp Commandant) under a male commandant. Later, Peterman was transferred as Female Camp Commandant to the Gross Werther subcamp in the Harz Mountains. When Gross Werther was liberated by the Allies, Petermann fled the camp and went into hiding. Her whereabouts were not located and therefore it was not possible to question her regarding possible involvement with war crimes. Her subsequent history and post-war activities remain unknown as of 2011.

Maximilian List (February 9, 1910 – c. 1980) was an architect in Berlin who became an SS officer, involved in the operation of a number of Nazi concentration camps.     SS-Hauptsturmführer (Captain) List moved from the Neuengamme concentration camp to become the commandant of Lager Sylt, a labour camp on Alderney. He commanded SS-Baubrigade I, arriving on the island on February 23, 1943. The camp housed the foreign workers for the Organization Todt which was building fortifications on the island. List had a chalet built in the style of Adolf Hitler’s Berghof outside the camp perimeter, with an underground passage linking it with the camp. This building was later moved to another part of the island. List later took full control of another camp, Lager Norderney.   In June 1943, workers were being deported back to Neuengamme, probably to be exterminated, but fled, and a disciplinary enquiry against him took place in September 1943.[1] To avoid a repeat of this, subsequently sick workers on Alderney were killed. List left the island in March 1944, replaced by SS-Obersturmführer Georg Braun.   After World War II a court-martial case was prepared against List, citing atrocities on Alderney.[2] However, he did not stand trial, and is believed to have lived near Hamburg until his death in the 1980s.

Georg Braun, his replacement. No info.

Fritz Schwalm: Ethnography interested Schwalm, so he conducted an anthropological study of the comparison in a Bavarian village at the beginning of the 1930s. By means of this study, Schwalm wanted to determine racial characteristics with members of different religions.

On 10 March 1948, Schwalm was sentenced to ten years in prison.[4] Schwalm is crimes against humanity, war crimes and membership in a criminal organization – found guilty on all three counts. In particular his participation in the Germanisation of Polish families, resettlement actions, deportation of Polish children in the German Reich and the use of Polish civilians to forced labour have been accused.[5] Schwalm released prematurely from the Landsberg prison on February 1, 1951.[4] After that he started his own business with a laundry.[1] Schwalm kept contact with former RuSHA leaders continue, this is evidenced by an exchange of correspondence of his , from the spring of 1976.[6]

His mentor on racial issues was the staff of the anthropological Institute in Munich Bruno Kurt Schultz. Bruno Kurt Schultz (born August 3, 1901 in Sitzenberg; d. 1997) was an Austrian German SS leader, anthropologist and lecturer.

in late March 1945, the SS transported about 5,600 female prisoners from Ravensbrück to the Mauthausen and Bergen-Belsen concentration camps. In April 1945, the SS guards force about 20,000 female prisoners, as well as most of the remaining male prisoners, on a brutal and forced evacuation on foot toward northern Mecklenberg.

Anna Klein (born Anna Friederike Mathilde Plaubel in 1900 -) is one of the only two women to have reached the rank of Chief senior supervisor in a Nazi Concentration Camp.   On 14 September 1939, she came to Ravensbrück. In August 1943, she was promoted to the highest rank of Chef Oberaufseherin (Chief senior supervisor) and control and monitoring of all of Ravensbrück camp. Anna Klein reached the highest rank that the Nazis allowed for a woman in a concentration camp. She received a higher salary, better housing, better food (not cooked by the deportees, but by other SS women), the best clothes, more power and this hierarchical title of honour. She oversaw all guards at Ravensbrück until the SS assigned her to the concentration camp Sachsenhausen in September 1944. There, she was used to the same rank until the liberation of the camp in April 1945.   For the period of August 1943 to August 1944 to Ravensbrück, she was freed on 21 July 1948 due to lack of evidence during the seventh Ravensbrück Trial in Hamburg. (Trans. from French)[1]   She had also been in Sachsenhausen, with Hilde Schlusser. [2]

Out of the 130,000 women deported to Ravensbrück between 1939 and 1945, more than 90,000 died here. Besides hunger and illness, many fell victim to the brutality of the SS female overseers. Many of the SS female overseers trained in Ravensbrück were redeployed to the new concentration camps built after the breakout of the war (Lublin-Majdanek, Auschwitz, Plaszów, etc.).
