Hinrich Lohse

Hinrich Lohse (2 September 1896 – 25 February 1964) was a German Nazi Party official, politician and convicted war criminal. He served as the ''Gauleiter'' and ''Oberpräsident'' of Schleswig-Holstein and was an SA-''Obergruppenführer'' in the Nazi paramilitary organization, the ''Sturmabteilung'' (SA). He is best known for his rule of the ''Reichskommissariat Ostland'', during the Second World War. The ''Reichskommissariat'' comprised the modern-day states of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, as well as parts of Belarus, and was the scene of Holocaust-related atrocities. Lohse was sentenced to ten years in prison in 1948 but was released in 1951. Provided by Wikipedia
