Fritz Becher
Fritz Becher (born October 24, 1904 , † May 29, 1946 in Landsberg am Lech ) was a prisoner functionary in the Dachau concentration camp .
Becher, married with one child, was a political prisoner in Dachau concentration camp from May 1938 to the end of June 1943. Becher was the elder of the room and later a block elder in the pastors' block . After his arrest, Becher was indicted as a war criminal by a US military court on November 15, 1945 in the main Dachau trial, which took place as part of the Dachau Trials , and sentenced to death by hanging on December 13, 1945 along with 35 other co-defendants . In the judgment, the severe abuse of prisoners resulting in death in one case as well as the execution of punishment exercises in which several clergymen died were taken into account as individual acts of excess in Becher. The sentence was carried out on May 28, 1946 in the Landsberg War Crimes Prison .
