Carl Oberg

Jan 27, 1897 - Jun 3, 1965

Carl Oberg was a German SS functionary during the Nazi era. He served as the head of the SS and police in occupied France during the Second World War and came to be known as the Butcher of Paris. Oberg deported over 40,000 Jews from France and had hundreds of hostages executed. Arrested by the Americans in the Tyrol in July 1945, he was twice sentenced to death by two different courts. However, in 1958 the death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment and later reduced to 20 years hard labour. Oberg was eventually pardoned and released on 28 November 1962.
