Hildebrandt (13 May 1897, Worms – 10 March 1952, Warsaw) was a politician in Nazi

the native families from those lands. As RuSHA chief, he was also responsible
for conducting the official Race test on the population of the occupied
territories for racial selection. He was captured in 1945 by allies and was
tried at Nuremberg by US military tribunal after WWII and was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He was handed over to polish authorities for further trial
where he was found guilty. And hanged in1952
