15. Josef Kramer
The infamous Commandant of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, Josef Kramer was given the nickname “The Beast of Belsen” by camp inmates. He had previously proven himself as the Lagerführer in Auschwitz. As the Third Reich collapsed, he refused to run away and met British soldiers at the gates of Bergen-Belsen, even giving them the tour of the camp, proudly showing the piles of rotting corpses infested with rats. He was sentenced to death and hanged in 1945.
