The circle records authority, function and agency. Several profiles may describe different parts of the same persecution chain, so profile-level totals must not be added together.
Postwar accountability
A United States court found him guilty on 12 December 1945; after the death sentence he was executed on 28 May 1946.

Limits of the evidence
The account of specific acts comes from witness testimony reproduced in trial records and trial scholarship; the profile does not repeat unverified allegations about other camps or set a separate victim total. No approved portrait for publication was found.
