The Most Evil Nazis You've Never Heard Of

it's fa to say that one is Sport for Choice when evaluating the evst members of the Nazi party as no other organization in history has managed to produce such a broad and expansive Litany of loathsome individuals so vast is its roster of rot of mem fact that many abhorent individuals who would be reviled as icons of evil if they came from a more moral Society managed to remain annoyingly absent from the historical Zeitgeist their wicked Deeds being completely overshadowed by the extreme evil of the creme de of Nazi Society well today we're going to shine a light on a few of these lesser known monsters so let's get into it so let's begin with Paul blobel born on the 13th of August 1894 in Potsdam Germany his early life was quite the mundane Affair initially pursuing a career in architecture before serving with the German Army in World War I postwar however his life would take a dark turn as he fell in with a nzis Global joined the party and the SS in 1931 there he found his calling as he shot through the ranks at lightning speed eventually becoming a Kel by 1941 he would hold a number of commands before the Nazi Empire came crumbling down but the one that would really earn him his infamy was s Commando 4A of the aads grouin one of the Nazi paramilitary death squads that followed in the wake of the German Army as it conquered its way across Europe and uh dealt with a various groups Hitler's deranged mind decried as undesirable his most notorious operation leading the unit was one at babiar just outside of Kev Ukraine where over the course of two days in September 1941 he had s Commando foray execute Commando 4 a gunned them down and their bodies tumbled into the Ravine below aside from orchestrating mass murders such as these blobel also played a pivotal role in the Nazis attempts to conceal their crimes for example in June 1942 hinr himler appointed him to head actian 10005 a covert operation aimed at exhuming Mass Graves and burning the bodies found within not that he would be getting his hands dirty mind you no no no because rather than have his own men exume the mass Graves he made use of Jewish slave BLB for that Grim task these so-called corpse units were forced to dig up Mass Graves from sun up to sun down every day sometimes with no other tool than their own bare hands all a gunpoint then when blobel and his men suspected that they had surpassed their usefulness or Knew Too Much they themselves were killed and disposed of by a new corpse unit after the war Global was arrested and thrown into the dark at the nberg trial specifically in the einat's gr and trial of 1947 through 1948 his defense strategy centered on the claim that he was merely following orders a common defense that was used by many Nazi officials to try and Dodge responsibility for their crimes however for bobal this defense proved to be woefully inadequate the prosecution was able to provide overwhelming evidence of his willing involvement in numerous war crimes and crimes against humanity including detailed records of operations he led eyewitness testimonies and his own admissions during pre-trial interrogations as a result of this he was found guilty and he met his fate at the bottom of a long rope in 1951 when he was hanged for his [Music] crimes for our next lesson know Nazi let's take a look at Oscar deranger born in verburg Germany on the 26th of September 1895 his early life gave little indication of the evil that would later take hold of his mind he served in the German army during World War I and then pursued a career in Academia earning a doctorate in political science but as he was doing this he also so began getting involved in politics as a very early member of the Nazi party joining both the party itself and the sa in 1923 come World War II he had also joined the SS where he had earned himself a reputation as a violent and sadistic alcoholic men of such character were exactly the sord the Nazis needed however so it was given command of the SS s Commander derang a Pino unit that was made up of criminals of all kinds but was mostly comprised of poachers and violent offenders the G of this unit was simple to give the men pressed into it a chance to earn their Absolution through the slaughter of Nazism enemies be they civilian or military perhaps un surprisingly the unit became Infamous for its barbaric actions as the crimes it committed under dang's command were simply staggering in both their cruelty and in their scope in Belarus for example they were responsible for the mass killings of civilians often conducting large scale massacres in towns Villages these massacr typically involved rounding up entire population of a village including women children and the Eld L and executing them on mass the victims were often killed by gunshot but reports also indicate the use of other methods of killing including burning people alive or torturing them until death in addition to killings darav vanga's unit was also notorious for burning down settlements and leaving nothing but ruins in their wake officially these acts were intended to destroy logistical support for Soviet partisans and serve as a form of collective punishment against the civilian population in reality however strategy was not on Danger's mind at all during these operations he simply derived sadistic pleasure from seeing people suffer but all of that was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to Dong's true capacity for evil and it wouldn't be until the wars or uprising of 1944 that he would be at its worst there his unit conducted Mass scale house-to-house raids indiscriminately dragging out and executing residents including women and children without reservation or hesitation it is unknown how many people were killed as a result of this but historians are certain that the number runs well into the tens of thousands Danger's unit also committed rape on a wholesale scale while in Warsaw all with his full knowledge and blessing these acts were often carried out publicly and with such savagery that even other members of the SS were taken a back by the extent of the brutality the motivation behind durang's actions can be traced to a combination of deep-seated psychopathy and a fervent belief in NY ideology his personal history including a conviction for a sexual offense before the war proves he had a long-standing pattern of deviant behavior and then the Nazi regime simply provided him with the perfect excuse to indulge all of his most depraved violent fantasies while pretending he was serving some greater good come the end of the war the time came for deranger to face the music but for him retribution would not come at the end of a rope but through a Savage beating because while he was in custody in late 1945 he was beaten to death by his polish prison guards to which we can only say what a shame next we have odilo glot a man who embodied the archetypal evil Nazi born on the 21st of April 1904 in triest then part of Austria Hungary kotnik was born just a smidge too late to serve in World War I so instead he spent his early life bouncing around menial occupations while getting gradually more interested in politics then having found the extreme right of the spectrum to his liking he joined a Nazi aligned Corinthian paramilitary group in 1922 then for the next decade or so he proceeded to drink the Nazi Kool-Aid by the gallon which led to him finally joining the party itself in 1931 ands the SS in 1934 come the war kotnik had thoroughly proved his commitment to the Nazi cause to the powers that be and so he was rewarded with being made the SS and police leader in the Lublin District of occupied Poland in this capacity he oversaw the implementation of some of the most brutal and inhumane aspects of Nazi politics with a notable example being actian Reinhardt this program named after Reinhardt hydri was one of the most lethal phases of the Holocaust as it saw the establishment of belet soore and the trinker extermination camps all under globik careful ey he ran them with ruthless efficiency and ultimately over 2 million Jews would be exterminated under his command unlike concentration camps such as dashow or Bergen bson which sought to productively work their inmates to death over time time the pure extermination camps kotnik LED cut out the middleman and instead were tasked purely with the wholesale industrial Slaughter of Nazi undesirables as many as possible as fast as possible at trinka for example incoming victims were deceived into thinking they were arriving at a Transit Camp to keep them docile only to be pounced upon stripped of their valuables and forced to undress at gunpoint after which they were immediately marched to the gas Chambers to be killed those who refused or died were dragged out from the crowd and shot without hesit itation to encourage the other victims to shut up hurry up and play along the camp did have a living area but this was not but a holding pen for days when the Camp's murder apparatus found itself inoperable or overc capacity and if victims thought about trying to resist God help them because glot niik would crack down on them with an immediate heavy and sadistic hand no better is this exemplified than with the trinko Revolt of the 2nd of August 1943 an incident in which a number of Jewish prisoners confined to the living area managed to liberate cash of weapons from the SS Armory and then proceeded to attempt to shoot their way to Freedom as well as burn as much of the camp down as they could for good measure kotnik responded to this by having his SS troops Gunn down the entire camp with survivors being forced into the surviving buildings and set on fire but while the extermination camps were certainly the peak of gbots nik's evil they were far from the only Wicked scheme he found himself involved in as his career also saw imp partake in the liquidation of both the Warsaw and bastock ghettos as as well as the establishment of the Lublin reservation and its Associated concentration camps and the hunting and murder of Italian Jews following the fall of melini's government in 1943 kotnik survived the war and in a desperate attempt to evade Justice he fled deep into the Austrian mountains he was then captured by the British less than a month after Germany's surrender but unfortunately before he could be brought to trial he committed suicide and escaped being held accountable for his [Music] crimes let's now look at France stangle born on the 26th of March 1908 in alt monster Austria he was a man who worked closely under gnik eventually Rising through the ranks to go from being a humble police officer to the commandant of soore and trm blinker extermination camps he joined both the Austrian federal police and the Nazi party in 1931 for a time his politics and his work were separate things in his life but that changed in 1935 when he moved to Germany to join the criminal polia the Nazi FBI from here with his foot through the door of the Nazi political establishment he shot up the ranks eventually finding himself at the head of the harim euthanasia center after being personally appointed by himler himself in November 1940 the center itself was one established for the T4 program Nazi eugenic scheme initiated in 1939 under the guise of Mercy killings it aimed to exterminate individuals deemed life Unworthy of life including people with severe psychiatric neurological or physical disabilities as well as those considered incurably sick an estimated 300,000 people were killed by this program by way of gas and lethal injection and stangle as the head of one of its centers contributed more than his fair share to this number stangle did so well at the center that in April 1942 he earned himself a promotion that saw him shipped off to Poland to be the first commandant of the soore extermination camp curiously Stango kept his hands clean and left the bulk of the brutality to his lackes with him only being accused of a single act of violence during his time leading the camp now don't let this fool you into thinking that he wasn't a total monster he knew exactly what he was doing and while he may have kept his hands clean he took just as much sadistic pleasure from his work as duranga did we know this because schomo schano one of only 58 known survivors of the camp recalled him as being a man who took obvious pleasure in his work and his situation and who always had an ear to ear Grim blasted across his face all in all around 100,000 Jews were killed during stango's T years by September 1942 stangle had earned himself such a reputation for competence that gloot niik ordered him to take over as the commandant of trinka the previous leader of which had proven himself to be grossly incompetent and incapable of meeting his killing targets at Treblinka he maintained the same enthusiasm for his work as he had at sore he immediately oversaw the construction of new larger gas Chambers to supplement the existing facilities these new gas Chambers were up and running within a matter of weeks and were capable of killing 15,000 people a day so pleased was he with the construction that when they were finished he quipped to his men that finally the Jewish city is ready he also maintained his same distance from the prisoners as he had previously continuing to leave the application of brutality to his Jank booted goons at the end of the war stangle was detained by US forces but managed to escape in 1948 before he could be put on trial fleeing down through Italy across the Mediterranean and eventually to Brazil his own huist proved to be his downfall however because when in Brazil he made no attempt to hide his identity and was eventually arrested by the Brazilian police in 1967 and extradited back to West Germany to face Justice unfortunately however he died of heart failure in 1971 before the case could be brought to court and thus escaped ever having to answer for his crimes a final lesser known Nazi ilok often referred to as the Beast of venal was born on the 22nd of September 1906 in Dresden Germany by all accounts her early life was most unremarkable but that would all change following a marriage to carloh Haw in 1936 who would later become the commandant of the bu andal and Maj danek concentration camps ilo's name became synonymous cruelty and sadism during a time at buen wal where she was known for her barbaric and inhumane treatment of prisoners she was particularly noted for her bizarre and gruesome habit of collecting items made from the tattooed skin of murdered inmates bear in mind she never once collected a paycheck for any of this she only found herself the camp fire her husband so for her there could be no I was just doing my job nurenberg defense she was just a sadistic monster simple as that her life in the camp was marked by a perverse mix of luxury and brutality as the wife of the commant she lived a life of material comfort and privilege and would often ride through the camp on Horseback flaunting her Authority and her role in the prisoners suffering but this was just the tip of the iceberg because on her worst days she would select prisoners with interesting tattoos have them murdered and and make their skin into lampshades book covers and other items for her ever growing Personal Collection of maab trinkets Beyond this she also liked to partake in the sadistic abuse of prisoners arbitrarily forcing them to endure beatings humiliation and psychological torture there was no reason for this not even the supposed keeping of order she was simply a wicked demon of a woman who enjoyed seeing people suffer come the end of the war she managed to escape Justice For A Time initially she was was arrested by US forces in 1945 but avoided conviction thanks to absolutely shoddy evidence gathering on the part of American prosecutors however further investigation and subsequent trials finally saw her get what she deserved and so in 1947 she was convicted on charges of war crimes narrowly avoiding the rope and instead was sentenced to life in prison but don't be disappointed viewers because while she might have escaped The Hangman's noose she didn't exactly have a fun time in prison you see as time went on she became even more psychotic and delusional conv vinced that a Jewish conspiracy was underway to see her sent to her grave and it was only a matter of time before a mob of concentration camp survivors battered down her cell or in Lynch her where she stood eventually she decided to save the fictitious conspirators a job and after improvising a new set of a bed sheet she hung herself in 1967 writing in a suicide note that there is no other way death for me is a [Music] release
