Timeline

1906

Eduard Strauch (17 August 1906 – 15 September 1955) was a German Nazi SS functionary, commander of Einsatzkommando 2, commander of two Nazi organizations, the Security Police (German: Sicherheitspolizei), or Sipo, and the Security Service (German: Sicherheitsdienst, or SD), first in Belarus – then called White Russia or White Ruthenia – and later in Belgium.

1931

On 1 August 1931, he joined the Nazi Party (membership no. 623.392) and SA.

On 1 December 1931, he became a member of the Nazi SS organization (membership no. 19.312).

1934

As of December 1934 he began working for the SD.

1941

At the beginning of the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June,1941, Strauch assumed command of a unit of the Einsatzgruppen.

Strauch led Einsatzkommando 2, part of Einsatzgruppe A, which from 4 November 1941 was under the command of Franz Walter Stahlecker.

On 30 November 1941, he participated, with 20 men under his command, in the murder of 10,600 Jews of Riga in the Rumbula forest near the city. As a reward for this "service" he was promoted to commander in Sipo and the SD and transferred to Belarus.

1943

In July 1943, the Nazi general commissioner for White Russia reported on having had a conference with the "extremely capable [...] chief of the SD, SS-Obersturmbannführer Dr. jur. Strauch", who had caused "the liquidation of 55,000 Jews in just the past 10 weeks alone."

Strauch had difficulties within the SS. He and official Wilhelm Kube reportedly did not get along.

Strauch's promotion to Standartenführer was denied.

1944

In October 1944, he was transferred to the militarised branch of the SS, the Waffen-SS.

Strauch was convicted for crimes against humanity in the Einsatzgruppen Trial and sentenced to death.

Extradited to Belgium, he was again convicted and sentenced to death.

However, Strauch was not executed since he was supposedly mentally ill.

On 31 May 1944, he was appointed Sipo and SD commander in Belgium.

In October 1944 Strauch was transferred to the SS military branch the Waffen-SS.

Despite an effort to sham mental illness, Strauch was convicted by the Nuremberg Military Tribunal in the Einsatzgruppen Trial for having a key role in the Rumbula and a number of other mass murders in Eastern Europe.

1948

On 9 April 1948, Presiding judge Michael Musmanno pronounced the tribunal's sentence on Strauch:

"Defendant EDUARD STRAUCH, on the counts of the indictment on which you have been convicted, the Tribunal sentences you to death by hanging."

Unlike his co-defendants Otto Ohlendorf and Paul Blobel, Strauch did not hang.

Instead, he was handed over to authorities in Belgium, where he had committed other crimes, for trial.

He was once more convicted and sentenced to death, but this sentence likewise was never carried out since the Belgians were convinced that he was indeed mentally ill.

1955

He died in a Belgian hospital in 1955.

Born in Essen, Strauch first studied theology at the universities of Erlangen (now Erlangen-Nuremberg) and Münster, but changed his course of studies and graduated with a degree in jurisprudence.

Strauch died in custody on 15 September 1955 in a hospital in Uccle, Belgium.
