10. Arthur Seyss-Inquart
Arthur Seyss-Inquart, that ranks 10th on our list of most evil Nazis ever will go down in history as the Austrian chancellor who signed over his country to Germany. While that may be considered a crime in itself, his most vicious deeds came after that, when he started his service in the Nazi government, first as a minister and then as Reichskommissar for the Occupied Netherlands. Forced labor, summarily court-martials, and executions were the hallmarks of Seyss-Inquart’s administration. He was also very successful at sending Dutch Jews to Auschwitz. Out of 140,000 Jews in the Netherlands, only some 30,000 survived the war, thanks to his efforts. He was sentenced to death and hanged in 1946.
