Franz Xaver Trenkle


Franz Xaver Trenkle (born August 2, 1899, May 28, 1946) is a Nazi criminal, member of the Dachau and Neuengamme Concentration Camps and SS-Hauptscharführer.

Member of NSDAP and SS. The service in Dachau began in November 1933 and initially (until spring 1936) was a blockhouse. Until 1938 he was the head of several prisoners' committees (including the building committee). Then Trenkle was transferred to Neuengamme as Rapportführer (report officer responsible for prisoners' appeals). As the new prisoners arrived at the camp, Trenkle greeted them with the following words: There is no place for laughter, the only person who can laugh is the devil, and the devil is me. He returned to Dachau in 1942 and served there until March 1944 as a report officer and deputy head of the camp. Known for cruelty and sadism, he specialized in the personal shooting of Soviet prisoners and captives.

Captured at the end of the war, he sat on the bench accused of the Dachau crew, who were in front of the American Military Tribunal in November and December 1945. Trenkle was sentenced for his crimes to death by hanging and executed at the end of May 1946 in the Landsberg prison. Bibliography
