Rudolf Schmäling

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rudolf Schmäling (born May 16, 1898 in Munich , † September 1, 1976 in Ebersberg ) was a German criminal police officer, SD and SS leader.

Life

After the First World War, Schmäling began his service with the Munich Police Department in July 1919. In the course of the transfer of power to the National Socialists , he switched to the Bavarian Political Police as a detective in 1933 , where he headed the press department from 1934. From September 1937 he headed Section II E of the Munich State Police Headquarters and also joined the SS that year . According to the Munich Agreement , he took part in a deployment of the security police in the Sudetenland as part of the commando leader in October 1938 .

Second World War

Since 1940 he was a member of the NSDAP . From 1941 Schmäling was employed as a department head with the commander of the Security Police and the SD (BdS) in France and from the beginning of June 1942 to September 1943 commander of the Security Police (KdS) in Nancy . In this function he was responsible for “the deportation of the Jews living there to Auschwitz ”. The Kriminalrat was promoted to SS-Sturmbannführer in 1944 . In October 1944 he was still a member of a task force .

After 1945

After the end of the war, Schmäling was brought before the military court in Lyon in France in 1946 , which, however, did not open a main hearing against him. Instead he was taken prisoner of war, from which he was soon released to Munich. In 1953 he applied unsuccessfully to the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office for reinstatement; it is uncertain whether he would later succeed. In the course of the 131 rule, however, he at least succeeded in enforcing pension claims. After all, he lived as an a. D. in Munich. A war crimes investigation initiated against him by the Munich Public Prosecutor's Office was closed in 1969 for “incapacity to stand trial”.
