He was very brutal and tied prisoners to a tree and allowed his ferocious dog to mutilate their genitals. As commandant, he tightened discipline in the camp and opined that those prisoners who were indoctrinated by Nazi philosophy should be allowed to fight for Germany and such persons should be made free persons. However , he was found to be ineffective commandant and shifted to eastern battle front.Local villages too complained about the lavish life style of his camp guards and their wives while they were struggling in poverty. This complaint was made to the top brass controlling the concentration camps and Zill  was replaced. After war, Zill vanished.

ARNOLD STRIPPEL

 Arnold Strippel was a SS first lieut and he served in many concentration camps and Neuengame was the last camp he served where he took part in the murder of many innocent school children for medical experiments by Kurt Heissmeyer , their four caretakers and dozens of soviet POWs in the basement of the school. Elders were hanged by cross beams under roof  while kids were hanged on wall hooks. Strippel was tried in majdanek trialsls  III during 1975...81 and was sentenced to only three and half yeses in jail. He was also given 125000 marks as compensation. After release , he purchased huge property and lived a wealthy man and died later at the age of 81 years. it is very strange that a criminal who was involved in thousands of murders was let off with small jail term and should have been hanged at gallows immediately after the war. it is believed that he was spared due to His service at v2rocket production and rocket launching in the final stages of war. Surely Americans must have spared him and gained valuable information On V2 rockets.justice was not fair thus. The criminal who was to hang at gallows was allowed to live so long and was also made wealthy by paying him huge sum of money by the govt. How unfair it was. All is fair in love and war.
