Erich Steidtmann
Erich Steidtmann (November 15, 1914 – July 25, 2010) was a Nazi SS officer believed to have been involved in the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the largest single revolt by the Jews during the Holocaust, the bulk of which occurred from April 19 until May 16, 1943, ending when the resistance was crushed by German troops under the direct command of Jürgen Stroop. Efforts were being undertaken by German prosecutors in the months before his death to prosecute Steidtmann for his involvement in war crimes.〔Cf. Stefan Klemp: ''„Nicht ermittelt“. Polizeibataillone und die Nachkriegsjustiz. Ein Handbuch''. (Handbook ), 2nd edition, Klartext Verlag, Essen 2011, ISBN 978-3-8375-0663-1, p. 9.〕
==Early life==
Steidtmann was born on November 15, 1914, in Weißenfels and joined the SS on June 1, 1933. In 1942, as commander of a police unit, the Third Battalion of Police Regiment 22, Steidtmann guarded trains used for the deportation of Polish Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto to the Treblinka extermination camp. His unit remained in the ghetto through 1943, where it would have been involved in the liquidation of the Ghetto under Gen. Jürgen Stroop in which 55,000 people were killed or sent to the death camps. Though Steidtmann had denied that he was involved in the events in the Warsaw Ghetto, witnesses placed him there. He was later assigned to Police Battalion 101, which was involved in the November 1943 "Harvest Festival" in which Jews in camps near Lublin were systematically shot and killed. Steidtmann also claimed not to have been in the area during the killings in Lublin, saying he had been on leave, but letters he had written at the time provided evidence that he was present.〔Hevesi, Dennis. ("Erich Steidtmann, Ex-Nazi Officer in Inquiry, Dies at 95" ), ''The New York Times'', July 31, 2010. Accessed August 1, 2010.〕
Steidtmann was captured by British forces after the conclusion of the war, but was not tried. He became a police officer in Essen and later became a driving instructor in Hanover. He had been questioned on a number of occasions during the 1960s, but had never been charged with any crimes.〔
