About Erich von dem Bach
Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski, born Erich Julius Eberhard von Zelewski (March 1, 1899 - March 8, 1972 ), was a Nazi official and a member of the SS, in which he reached the rank of SS-Obergruppenführer. In exchange for his testimony against his former superiors at the Nuremberg Trials, von dem Bach never faced trial for any war crimes. In 1961, he received an additional sentence of ten years imprisonment. None of the sentences referred to his role in the East and his participation in the massacres, though he openly admitted to having murdered Jews. He died in a Munich prison on March 8, 1972. It has been said that Hitler particularly admired von dem Bach’s ruthlessness and ingenuity.
