Hermann Florstedt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born in Bitsch on February 8th 1895, Hermann Florstedt (NSDAP-488 573, SS-8660) became the third Commandant of Majdanek Concentration Camp in October 1942.
A World War I veteran, Florstedt was awarded the Iron Cross.
Brought into Majdanek to replace Max Kögel, Florstedt had earlier served at Sachsenhausen from 1940-1942.
He was replaced by the interim commander Martin Weiss, after the SS charged him with embezzlement and arbitrarily killing prisoners - having been investigated by SS Judge Georg Konrad Morgen. He was executed by the SS on April 15th 1945.
He was alleged to have had an affair with Ilse Koch.
