## Bio

Born in Bavaria in 1894, Sauckel worked as a seaman and spent the First World War interned in France. He joined the Nazi Party in 1923 and built the organization in Thuringia, becoming Gauleiter there in 1927 and Reichsstatthalter in 1933 when Hitler took power. In March 1942 he was named General Plenipotentiary for Labour Deployment under Göring's Four Year Plan, a role that put him in charge of extracting workers from conquered territories to meet Germany's industrial demands. Over the next three years he oversaw the deportation of some five million people into forced labor, often through brutal coercion, and authorized the use of prisoners of war to fill the gaps. American troops arrested him in Salzburg in May 1945. At Nuremberg he was convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity, sentenced to death, and hanged on 16 October 1946.
