Life

The doctor of business law joined the NSDAP on April 1, 1933 ( membership number 2,709,693) and the SS on October 1, 1936 (SS number 290.303). In 1939 he worked for the Prague Security Service (SD) head section.

After the German attack on the Soviet Union , Hubig belonged to the Einsatzgruppen of the Security Police and the SD , which defined the mass murders of civilians from the political intelligentsia , communists , partisans and as “racially inferior” such as Jews , “ gypsies ” and “ asocials ” were. Hubig was a member of Einsatzgruppe A in September 1941, and from October 1941 to May 1942 he led a sub-command of the Einsatzgruppe. In this capacity he was involved in the murder of more than 200 mentally ill women in an institution in Makarjewo. Correspondence received between Wehrmacht agencies and the sub-command led by Hubig proves that the women were viewed as "life not worth living" and a possible source of danger. After the reorganization of Einsatzgruppe A, Hubig was responsible for Einsatzkommando 1b from June to October 1942. His successor was Manfred Pechau .

After the end of the war , Hubig went into hiding under the false name of Hans Haller . Until the 1960s he was a member of the Federal Intelligence Service .

Field Marshal General Georg von Küchler was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment for killing the mentally ill women in the Nuremberg trial against the Wehrmacht High Command in 1949 . Federal German judicial authorities investigated Hubig in the 1960s. In interrogations, Hubig stated that he had only heard of an “evacuation” “for the purpose of a conversation”. The driver, Hubigs, who was also interrogated, remembered a visit to the institution: “You were lying in beds and made a completely neglected and insane impression. The stench was bestial. The room was full of dirt. You can't even describe the picture. ” The Konstanz public prosecutor dropped the proceedings on January 3, 1968; Hubig was also put out of pursuit in other investigations.
