19. Oskar Dirlewanger
The 36th Waffen-Grenadier Division of the SS, AKA Dirlewanger Brigade, was formed to fight Polish partisans. The unit was composed of criminals who were offered a choice to exchange their prison sentences for a tour of duty on front lines. The founder and CO of the unit was Oskar Dirlewanger, often described as “the most evil man in SS”. Apparently, his atrocities against civilians were so inhuman that even his fellow SS officers called for his removal and disbanding of his unit.
18. Friedrich Jeckeln
We are continuing our list of most evil Nazis ever with Friedrich Jeckeln that was one of the most notorious Einsatzgruppen commanders, responsible for Rumbula massacre, Babi Yar, and Kamianets-Podilskyi massacre, and personally responsible for killing some 100,000 civilians deemed undesirable by the Third Reich during the Holocaust. He was sentenced to death and executed by the Soviets in 1946.
