Hermann Höfle
Hermann Julius Höfle, also Hans (or) Hermann Hoefle (German: [ˈhɛʁman ˈhøːflə] ; 19 June 1911 – 21 August 1962), was an Austrian-born SS commander and Holocaust perpetrator during the Nazi era. Höfle was deputy to Odilo Globočnik during Aktion Reinhard, the extermination over two million Polish Jews, including the Jewish populations of Warsaw, Lublin, and Bialystok. On 11 January 1943, Höfle sent a message to SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann in Berlin that documented the total number of Jews killed in the four extermination camps during 1942 as 1,274,166. Arrested in 1961, Höfle died via suicide by hanging in prison before he was tried for his crimes.
