He was a World War II officer of the SS who commanded the SS-Sturmbrigade Dirlewanger, a penal battalion composed of German criminals and valued for its particular brutality in crushing partisan resistance on the Eastern front; under Dirlewanger, the brigade was responsible for numerous atrocities, massacres and war crimes. Together with the German SS-Brigade Kaminski and the Soviet NKVD troops, the SS-Sturmbrigade Dirlewanger is regarded as one of the most brutal perpetrators of war crimes in the European Theater
Dare I say he didn't have that quite innocent look making him a trustworthy person?
He was a deeply troubled individual, a child molester pervert with a growing reputation as an alcoholic fascinated by war ever since the Great War until the Warsaw uprising and the Condor Legion during the Spanish civil war.
Despicable character but who earned his medals to an extent with the blood of Partisans and poles. One of the most brutal soldier (Doubt he should be called that) war criminal in history.
