Hans-Adolf Prützmann

From Metapedia

Hans-Adolf Prützmann was German SS officer.

Prützmann joined the Freikrops in 1919 and fought during the Upper Silesian Uprisings. In 1929 he joined the SA, but left in 1930 due to the mild thinking of upper SA officers. He promptly joined the SS in 1931 and by 1934 had reached the rank of Gruppenführer. During the war he was stationed in the Soviet Union as head of the Police and in 1944 was put in command of the Werwolf organization.

He was captured shortly before the end of the war and committed suicide in May 1945 while in American custody.
