Hermann Prieß
Hermann Prieß〔His name, in German, is spelled with a "sharp S"; see ß.〕 (24 May 1901 – 2 February 1985) was the commander of ''3rd SS Division Totenkopf'' ("Deaths head") of the Waffen-SS – the armed paramilitary branch of the Nazi Party's ''Schutzstaffel'' (SS) – following the death of Theodor Eicke in February 1943. He was also a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords ((ドイツ語:Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub und Schwertern)). The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross and its higher grade Oak Leaves and Swords was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership.
Prieß was promoted to SS-''Gruppenführer und Generalleutnant der Waffen-SS'' on 20 April 1944. On 30 October 1944 he became the commanding officer of the ''1st SS-Panzerkorps Leibstandarte'' and led it during the Battle of the Bulge.
After the war, Prieß was convicted of war crimes because of his involvement in the Malmedy massacre, and was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. He was released from the Landsberg Prison in 1954.
==Early life and career==
Prieß was born on 24 May 1901 in Marnitz, at the time in the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, a Federal State of the German Empire, the son of a butcher and farmer. On 22 January 1919, he volunteered for military service in the ''Deutsches Heer'', which was transformed to the ''Reichsheer'' in the Weimar Republic. At the time he joined, his unit was the formally 2. ''Großherzoglich Mecklenburgisches Dragoner-Regiment Nr.'' 18 of the 17th Division based in Parchim. Due to the limitations imposed by the Treaty of Versailles, his regiment was disbanded. Prieß then fought with Cordt von Brandis in the ''Freikorps'' in the Baltic in the Estonian War of Independence where he was wounded in combat near Riga. In 1920, he returned to the ''Reichswehr'', serving in ''Reiter-Regiment'' 14 of the 3rd Cavalry Division, and after 12 years of service he was discharged in June 1931 holding the rank of ''Unteroffiziere mit Portepee'', a non-commissioned officers rank.
