Pencil sketch of a Nazi by Dr K Prabhakar Rao

JOSEF OBERHAUSER



 He was a low ranking officer in Belzec camp from SS.After war he was arrested by US forces but was released soon. He was tried in Belzec trials , convicted and sentenced to 4.5 years prison term for being an accessory to murder in 1964. He pleaded that he acted in duress. However this was not accepted. He was csentenced for 15 yeras in earlier trial but was released after 8 years.He was the adjutant to Christan wirth, the commandant and naturally he must have had good relations with him. There was no duress  for him. Thus he was not spared and was sentenced, however leniently taking into account the stiff jail term he served in GDR earlier..
