3 Worst Nazi Criminals - Otto Moll & Oskar Dirlewanger & Martin Sommer - Nazi Germany - World War 2.

Otto Moll.

Otto Moll’s concentration camp career began at Sachsenhausen concentration camp where he worked from 1938 until May 1941 when he and his wife and two daughters arrived in the Auschwitz concentration camp located in German-occupied Poland.
Many former Auschwitz prisoners described Otto Moll as the worst SS-man in the entire camp. He distinguished himself with the particular sadism towards the prisoners and because he had a glass eye, he had a nickname “Cyclops “.
He held various positions within the camp and after the expansion of Auschwitz into an extermination camp ordered by Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, Moll devoted himself primarily to the killing of people.
In 1943, the four large crematoria and gas chambers in Auschwitz-Birkenau went into operation.
For his merits in killing innocent men, women and children, Hitler decorated Moll with the War Merit Cross, First Class with Swords on the 20th of April 1943.
This casts a significant light on his importance in the extermination of the Jews.
From September 1943 to May 1944, Moll was the first commandant of the Fürstengrube and Gleiwitz I which were Auschwitz sub-camps.
In May 1944 he returned to the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, where he was appointed the head of all crematoria by the camp’s commandant Rudolf Höss.
During this period, the extermination of Hungarian Jews was to take place.
During 8 weeks from the 15th of May to the 9th of July 1944, Hungarian gendarmerie officials, under the guidance of German SS officials, deported around 424,000 Jews from Hungary to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where, upon arrival and after selection, SS functionaries killed the majority of them in gas chambers.
As the head of all crematoria, Moll also directed the work of the Jewish Sonderkommando which was a unit of camp’s prisoners forced to help with the disposal of gas chamber victims.
In mid-January 1945, Otto Moll let death march and in February 1945 arrived in Kaufering...

Oskar Dirlewanger.

Oskar Dirlewanger was also a pedophile and rapist. In 1934, one year after Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party came into power, he raped a 13-year-old girl from the League of German Girls which was the female section of Hitler Youth. He was also convicted of driving and damaging a government vehicle under the influence of alcohol. As a result, he lost his doctorate in political science, was expelled from the Nazi party and SA, and sentenced to two years' imprisonment.
After his release, between 1936 and 1939 he fought in the Condor Legion which was a German military unit sent to Spain to support General Franco's Nationalist movement during the Spanish Civil War.
The Second World War started on the 1st September 1939 and in July 1940 Dirlewanger was admitted to the SS. He created and trained a special criminal unit named the Dirlewanger Brigade which at the beginning consisted mostly of convicted poachers. They were recruited thanks to their tracking and shooting skills to fight partisans. Later, his unit recruited mostly convicted German criminals.
In February 1942 the Dirlewanger Brigade was sent to Belorus where they not only raped and tortured young women, but also killed at least 30,000 Belarusian civilians. Their specialty was to cram the local population inside a barn and then set it on fire. Whoever tried to escape from the burning barn, was shoot with a machine gun.
On the 1st of August 1944 the Warsaw Uprising began and Dirlewanger and his men participated in its suppression while committing unspeakable crimes.

Martin Sommer.

Martin Sommer’s career in concentration camps began at Dachau.
In the summer of 1937 Sommer was deployed in the Buchenwald concentration camp which was one of the largest concentration camps established within German borders. The camp became operational from July the same year.
Sommer’s treatment of prisoners was so excessively brutal and sadistic that he was investigated by the Nazis and put on a trial which sentenced him to a reduction in rank and sent him to a penal battalion fighting on the Eastern Front “to redeem himself”. In the Soviet Union Martin Sommer was wounded in a tank explosion, losing his right leg and permanently crippling his right arm.
He was arrested by the Soviet army and released in 1955.
