9. Ernst Kaltenbrunner
The notoriously cruel Director of the Reich Main Security Office, Ernst Kaltenbrunner started his career in the SS in 1931, one year after he joined the Nazi Party. He quickly rose through the ranks, until becoming the Director and one of the most powerful men in the Third Reich. Standing at 6’4’’, with gruesome facial scars (earned during his dueling days as a student) and extremely violent temper, Kaltenbrunner was a very intimidating figure. It was said that even Himmler was afraid of him. He was hanged in 1946.
