Georg Poch
Georg Anton Pöch (* 1895 in Przemyśl ; † January 15, 1970 in Surabaya ) was an Austrian doctor.
Life
Georg was the son of Major Josef Pöch. He studied at the University of Graz Medicine, received his doctorate in 1921 for Dr. med. and passed the physics exam in 1924. From 1921/22 he was a secondary doctor in Graz and built up the children's health system in Salzburg on behalf of the Commonwealth Fund . On December 26, 1924, Georg Pöch married the anthropologist Hella Pöch , the widow of his uncle, the anthropologist Rudolf Pöch . From 1924 to 1929 he headed maternal health care in Salzburg, then until 1935 in Eisenstadt . From November 1938 to September 1939 he worked in the public health department in the Reich Ministry of the Interior in Berlin. From 1940 he headed the subdivision IIIa (health care and physical exercise) and the department IIa / 2 for “heritage and race care” at the Reichsstatthalter Salzburg . He worked at the Hereditary Health Court in Salzburg and was therefore involved in euthanasia .
After the end of the Nazi era , the couple was interrogated by the US CIC in Salzburg . He evaded the Austrian judiciary through a long flight, initially via Bozen to Indonesia (there from 1954), where Georg Pöch ran a clinic in Sumbawa Besar after stations in Dompu and Bima (Sumbawa) and died of a heart attack in Surabaya in 1970 . Before that he is said to have converted to Islam after Peter Levenda and married a second woman from Indonesia named Sulaesih in 1965.
Special
In Indonesia there was unsubstantiated speculation that Dr. Poch or Poch was the camouflage of the escaped Hitler.
