Pencil sketch of a nazi by Dr k Prabhakar rao


FRIEDRICH UEBELHOER...... NAZI WW II. Uebelhoer held the rank of Brigadeführer in the Schutzstaffel and received commendation for his involvement in the annexation of the Sudetenland and for his part in the Anschluss.Following the occupation of Poland, he served as an inspector in the Reichsgau Wartheland.In Łódź he ordered the construction of the Jewish ghetto on December 10, 1939, a measure he described as only temporary, adding that ultimately the Nazis intended to "burn out this plague dump".In early October 1941, Uebelhoer drew the ire of Reinhard Heydrich when he vehemently protested against the intended deportation of 60,000 German Jews to the already overcrowded ghetto. In letters to one another, Heydrich threatened to draw "appropriate conclusions" if Uebelhoer did not change his stance. Through negotiations with Adolf Eichmann, the number eventually reached was 20,000 Jews and 5,000 Gypsies sent to Łódź, with tens of thousands sent to other ghettos.In November that year, to assuage Uebelhoer's qualms about ghetto arson started by Gypsies, Heinrich Himmler advised Uebelhoer to shoot ten Gypsies for every fire that broke out within the ghetto. Those Gypsies who did not perish in the Łódź Ghetto were killed by gas vans in January 1942 in Chełmno.
Uebelhoer was dismissed from his post as governor of Łódź in December 1942 after being accused of embezzlement by Arthur Greiser.The charges were ultimately unproven, but the suspicion damaged his reputation and halted his advancement in the SS.He would return in January 1944 in the lesser role of governor of the Merseburg district. He was not accounted for after WW II and was declared dead legally in 1950. He could have escaped too from Germany in the last stages of the war.
