Description
Hitler's Crime Fighter: The Extraordinary Life of Konrad Morgen In the heart of Nazi Germany, a unique system of law and justice existed, one that stood in stark contrast to the atrocities committed by the SS. Major Konrad Morgen, an SS Investigating Judge and Police Official, played a crucial role in upholding this system, using his investigative skills to bring individual members of the SS to justice for their crimes against innocent victims. Morgen's bravery and determination were tested when he crossed swords with powerful forces within the SS, leading to his demotion and deployment to the Eastern Front. However, his investigative skills remained in demand, and he returned to launch a series of criminal investigations in concentration camps. The consequences of his work were significant, with two concentration camp commandants being shot and three others arrested before the end of the war. This book tells the story of Morgen's cases and his remarkable ability to pursue some of Nazi Germany's worst murderers from within the SS.
