Richard Glücks (22 April 1889 – 10 May 1945) was a high-ranking German Nazi Party official in the Schutzstaffel. From November 1939 until the end of World War II , he was Theodor Eicke's right-hand man within Concentration Camps Inspectorate (CCI), which was responsible for the operation of the Nazis' various concentration camps.
As a direct subordinate of Heinrich Himmler, he was responsible for the forced labour of the camp inmates, and was also the supervisor for the medical practices in the camps, ranging from human experimentation to the implementation of the "Final Solution", in particular the mass murder of inmates with Zyklon-B gas. After Germany capitulated, Glücks committed suicide by swallowing a potassium cyanide capsule.
