Ganzenmüller |
In
May 1942, Albert Ganzenmüller (born in
1905 in
Passau,
member of NSDAP and SA since
1931) was appointed state secretary in the ministry
of transport and chief
of the German
Reichsbahn. He was responsible for the employment of deportation trains.
After the war Ganzenmüller fled to Argentina but returned to Germany in
1955.
First indictment in
1970, second one in
1973 in
Düsseldorf. Because of a heart attack
the proceedings were stopped.
A letter sheds light on Ganzenmüller's close relations to the highest SS departments:
On
28 July 1942 he wrote a letter to
SS-Obergruppenführer
Karl Wolff, member of the personal staff of
Himmler. Subject: Deportation trains to
Belzec, Sobibor and
Treblinka.

Wolff sent a respond to Ganzenmüller on
13 August 1942, in which he
mentioned that he was "exceptionally delighted" about Ganzenmüller's information and the fact that "since
14 days a daily train" with Jews is going to
Treblinka.
