Franz Stofel
Xaver Stärfel, alias Franz Stofel,〔Jens-Christian Wagner: ''Produktion des Todes: Das KZ Mittelbau-Dora'', Göttingen 2001, p. 673 〕 (5 October 1915 – 13 December 1945) was a Nazi German SS-Hauptscharführer〔(Aussage George Kraft im Bergen-Belsen-Prozess vom 11. Oktober 1945 ) from Jens Christian Wagner: "Außenlager Kleinbodungen", in: Wolfgang Benz, Barbara Distel: ''Der Ort des Terrors – Geschichte der nationalsozialistischen Konzentrationslager'', Band 7, (München, 2008) p. 317.〕 and camp commander of the Kleinbodungen subcamp of Mittelbau-Dora during World War II. Arrested by the Allies and convicted of war crimes in the Belsen Trial, Stofel was executed by hanging at Hamelin prison in 1945.
==Life==
Stärfel was born in Hainburg, Germany in 1915.
From October 1934 to 1935 he served in the Reichswehr, but he decided a greater opportunity to be a professional soldier was to be found in the SS, which he joined in April 1936. As a result, became assigned to the SS-Totenkopfverbände (SS-TV) at Dachau concentration camp. From March 1939 to January 1944 Stärfel headed small work details in the warehouse area of Dachau. In mid-January 1944 he transferred to the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp complex, and from August 1944 served as Kommandoführer (Detachment Commander) for the construction of a satellite camp in Kleinbodungen.〔(Trial of Josef Kramer and forty-four others (The Belsen Trial) ), Mazal Library, p. T325 (archived link)〕 From 3 October 1944 to early April 1945 he was leader of the Kleinbodungen subcamp. It consisted of about 620 foreign prisoners forced to work in the Mittelwerk, a missile construction facility for the A4 rocket (better known as the V2).〔Jens Christian Wagner: "Außenlager Kleinbodungen", in: Wolfgang Benz, Barbara Distel: ''Der Ort des Terrors – Geschichte der nationalsozialistischen Konzentrationslager, Volume 7'' (München, 2008) p. 316ff 〕
Near the end of the war, as the United States 9th Army approached Mittelbau-Dora, Stofel was ordered by SS-Obersturmführer Franz Hössler to evacuate Kleinbodungen on 4 April 1945. The next day, 610 prisoners were led outside the camp by Stärfels, his deputy Wilhelm Dörr, and 45 SS-men to the nearest town of Herzberg to be "evacuated" by rail.〔 Due to the persistent risk of air attacks on the rail lines, Stärfel decided instead to take the prisoners on a death march to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, which was still operational.〔Andrè Sellier: ''Zwangsarbeit im Raketentunnel – Geschichte des Lagers Dora'', Lüneburg 2000, p. 395 〕 By 10 April 1945, after some prisoners had already managed to escape, the evacuation transport came to the village of Groß Hehlen north of Celle, near the front lines. During a fight scene four or five prisoners were shot while trying to escape or slow the tempo of the march. On 11 April 1945, the remaining 590 prisoners arrived at Bergen-Belsen.〔
