Wilhelm Jobst (born October 27, 1912 in Eger ; † May 28, 1947 in Landsberg am Lech ), also Willi Jobst and Willibald Jobst , was a German physician. From 1943 he was SS-Hauptsturmführer and camp doctor in concentration camps .
biography
He joined the NSDAP on November 1, 1938 (membership number 6.749.388). Jobst, a member of the Waffen SS since September 1939 , was initially employed as a camp doctor in the Groß-Rosen concentration camp and began his service as a camp doctor in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in 1942 . From May 1944 to April 1945 Jobst initially worked as a deputy on- site doctor in Mauthausen concentration camp and shortly thereafter as a camp doctor in Upper Austria's Ebensee concentration camp , a satellite camp of Mauthausen concentration camp .
After the end of the war, Jobst was one of the 61 defendants in the Dachau Mauthausen main trial , which took place as part of the Dachau trials . Jobst was charged with assigning terminally ill prisoners to injections in his capacity as camp doctor in Ebensee in 1944/45. Witnesses also accused him of having tolerated the beating of sick inmates by kapos and of having beaten and kicked himself. Jobst was also charged with neglecting medical care for camp inmates in Ebensee. The arrival of a transport of 1,000 to 1,500 prisoners from Silesia in February 1945 , of whom around 200 are said to have died within a short time, was of particular importance .
Wilhelm Jobst replied that he had no selections performed sick prisoners for injections. He also did what he could to ensure that the camp inmates were taken care of. He attributed the death rate of the prisoner access to the poor health of the inmates even before they arrived at the camp.
The court did not follow this. On May 13, 1946 Jobst was prepared by the US military court to death by the strand condemned and on 28 May 1947 war crimes prison Landsberg executed.
