Hermann Hackmann
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SS Hauptsturmführer Heinrich Hackmann (b. October 11, 1913 - August 20, 1994) served as the lead guard in charge of protective custody at Majdanek Concentration Camp in German-occupied Poland.
He was prosecuted for murder by the SS Judge Georg Konrad Morgen. Though he was initially sentenced to death, in the end he was simply shunted to a penal unit.
During the Buchenwald Trial of 1947, Hackmann was one of twenty-two Nazis sentenced to death for his role in the Buchenwald concentration camp, though it was commuted to life imprisonment. During the Third Majdanek Trial between 1975-1981, he was sentenced to an additional ten years imprisonment for two counts of serving as joint accessory to murder of at least 141 people in Majdanek.
