Rudolf Querner

Rudolf Querner (10 June 1893 – 27 May 1945) was the Police Leader in Germany and Austria during World War II. A member of the Nazi Party, Querner was involved in the deportation of the Hamburg Jewish community and was also supposed to be responsible for harsh reprisals against his district in 1944 after a failed attempt to kill Adolf Hitler, although Heinrich Kodré was put in charge. When the war ended, he oversaw all evacuations or death marches from concentration camps. He was captured after the fall of Berlin and killed himself in custody.
