Hans Haage
Hans Haage (born June 1, 1905 in Mährisch Schönberg , † February 10, 1998 in Bad Abbach ) was a German Hauptscharführer of the SS and during World War II deputy commander of the transit camps in Fossoli and Bozen (in both cases under Karl Friedrich Titho ).
The prisoner-of-war camp set up by the Italian government in Fossoli in 1942 for mainly British, New Zealand and Australian soldiers from the North African War became part of the German camp system after the armistice of Cassibile on September 8, 1943. From January 1944 SS-Untersturmführer Karl Friedrich Titho and SS-Hauptscharführer Hans Haage took command with a 40-man SS unit.
Haage was never arrested or tried. An Italian arrest warrant issued on June 10, 1954 had no consequences, since under Article 16 of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany no German could be extradited abroad. His boss at the time, Karl Friedrich Titho, who had already been held accountable for his actions in the Netherlands, also benefited from this. Hans Haage died unmolested in a retirement home in Lower Bavaria in 1998.
