description: "Karl Heinrich Wilhelm Koppe was a German Nazi Party politician and an SS-Obergruppenführer and a General of the Waffen-SS. He held several high-level commands, including as the Higher SS and Police Leader in Reichsgau Wartheland and in the General Government during the German occupation of Poland in World War II. He was responsible for numerous atrocities against Jews and Poles during his tenure, including sending an estimated 145,000 of them to their deaths at the Chelmno extermination camp. After the end of the war, he escaped detection and arrest until 1960. Although West Germany began a criminal prosecution in 1964, it was terminated due to Koppe's ill health and he was never convicted."
