description: "Walter Kutschmann was a German SS-Untersturmführer and Gestapo officer, a member of an Einsatzkommando, based first in Lwów, Poland, and later in Drohobycz. He was responsible for the massacre of 1,500 Polish Jews in Lwów in the years 1941–1942. Kutschmann fled to Argentina using an assumed name in 1948 and lived undetected until 1975. When his true identity was discovered that year, he avoided arrest and evaded capture until 1985. Kutschmann was tracked down and arrested by Interpol that year, but he died in custody before he could be extradited to West Germany to face trial."
