Peter Lindner: Hermann Florstedt. SS-Fuehrer und KZ-Lagerkommandant. Verlag; André Gursky ISBN 3-929389-19-3 (in german language)

Hermann Florstedt was not executed! He lived undercover in Germany till the 1960s!

Her lover, Hermann Florstedt, was later transferred to Majdanek and became the Commandant there. He was also executed by the Nazis after he was convicted in the SS Court by Dr. Georg Konrad Morgen.

Amon Goeth was arrested in the autumn of 1944 in connection with an investigation of corruption and black market activities in the camps, the same investigation that brought about the execution of Karl Koch and Hermann Florstedt.

As he explained in sworn testimony at Nuremberg, Dr. Morgen investigated 800 such cases, resulting in more than 200 convictions. [9] Punishments included the death penalty for the worst offenders, including Hermann Florstedt, commandant of Lublin (Majdanek), and Karl Koch (Ilse's husband), commandant of Buchenwald.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just providing my sources for saying he was executed Sherurcij 17:36, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

I am really not proud to mentioned it but he was a relative of my grandfather. And he was sure (because they had rarely contact after the war), that Hermann F. was still living in 1949. After that year contact was lost and there were only rumours.

An undeniable fact worth inserting into the article is that Senior Public Prosecutor Kimmel of the Ludwigsburg office of the Central Office of the State Justice Administrations for the Investigation of National Socialist Crimes, still on October 6th, 1975, officially stated that Florstedt's death has not been proven.

Florstedt info.[edit]

Is there any indication that Florstedt was at Buchenwald under Koch? I thought I had found that when I researched him. Also, do we have a middle name on him? (Fritz?)Mensch 11:21, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
