Oskar Dirlewanger Height

Oskar Paul Dirlewanger was a German military officer, convicted child molester, and war criminal. He is best known for commanding the Dirlewanger Brigade, a penal military unit of the Waffen-SS which served in World War II. Dirlewanger's unit is often considered the most notorious Waffen-SS unit, committing some of the conflict's most infamous atrocities, with Dirlewanger himself regarded as perhaps Nazi Germany's "most extreme executioner", engaging in constant acts of violence, rape, and murder. He died after the war while in Allied custody.
