Psychopathic Nazi officer who whipped prisoners & set dogs on them - Egon Zill

Egon Zill was born on the 28th of March 1906 in Plauen, then part of the German Empire. In 1923, Zill became a member of the Nazi Party and its paramilitary organization the SA. 3 years later in 1926 he joined the SS with number 535, one of the lowest membership numbers. On the 30th of January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg. The following year, Egon Zill got married. His wife had been a member of various National Socialist organizations since the mid-1920s and the marriage produced three children. Egon Zill served successively in Hohnstein, Sachsenburg, Dachau, Lichtenburg and Ravensbrück concentration camps. Ravensbrück, opened in May 1939, was the only major women's camp established by the Nazi regime. Egon Zill was deployed at Ravensbrück from its opening and held a position of commander's adjutant. Despite having his own wife, Zill, a sexual deviant, was known for sexually harassing and brutally abusing the female prisoners. Once he even contracted a venereal disease.
Zill, who due to his short stature was given the nickname "Little Zill", remained in Ravensbrück until December 1939. The Second World War started on the 1st of September 1939 when Nazi Germany invaded Poland. At Dachau, not only did Zill devise new and organized methods of torture for the prisoners, but he took joy in taking part in the punishment personally, or else watching from the sidelines as the prisoners died at the hands of equally sadistic guards. In December 1941 Zill succeeded Hermann Pister as commander of the Hinzert concentration camp which remained mainly autonomous until the 21st of November 1944, when it was administratively linked to the Buchenwald concentration camp. In April 1942 Zill became the commandant of the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp which was the only concentration camp established by the Germans in the territory of pre-war France, about 31 miles southwest of Strasbourg. In mid-September 1942 Egon Zill became a commandant of the Flossenbürg concentration camp, near the German border with pre-war Czechoslovakia, then the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Flossenbürg’s original purpose was to exploit the forced labor of prisoners for the production of granite for Nazi construction projects. Until mid-1943 when the camp became a key supplier of Messerschmitt Bf 109 aircraft parts, the quarry occupied the labor of about half of the prisoner population.
