Konrad Morgen

Georg Konrad Morgen (8 June 1909 – 4 February 1982) was an SS judge and lawyer who investigated fellow SS men for corruption and crimes committed in Nazi concentration camps. He rose to the rank of SS-''Sturmbannführer'' (major). After the war, Morgen served as witness at several anti-Nazi trials and continued his legal career in Frankfurt.

Morgen was known as a ''Blutrichter'', or "blood judge", as a result of being one of the members of the judiciary authorised to issue the death penalty. A mistranslation of this may also be the reason that he earned the nickname 'The Bloodhound Judge', said to be for his determination and doggedness in pursuing cases. Provided by Wikipedia
