Therefore, this villain shall be added to our "Never Again List", where proposed villains rejected by the community shall be placed to prevent future proposals of the same evil-doer. They can be proposed again (with the permission of an administrator) if new elements appear in their series that can change their status as non-PE villains.

~ Höss bragging about his camp.

Rudolf Höss was a character in the 2000 television movie Nuremberg. He is a fictionalized version of the real-life Nazi who served as Commandant of the Auschwitz concentration camp.

He was portrayed by Colm Feore, who also portrayed André Linoge in Storm of the Century, The Dollmaker in Gotham, Laufey in Thor, Donald Menken in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Randall Flynn in Revolution, Jordan Hayes in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Zhylaw in The Chronicles of Riddick, Detective Frank McDuff in National Security, and Giuliano della Rovere in The Borgias.

Biography[]

During the Nuremberg trials that followed the Second World War, Höss was brought in to testify by the defense. During cross examination by the prosecution Höss casually related how he studied execution methods, and how he figured out how to use Zyklon B to murder Jews at even a faster rate than the other camps were. Asked how many people his camp killed in a single day, Höss said at peak operations they were able to kill 10,000 people a day, but usually killed around 2,000 people a day. Höss testified in total that his camp killed over two million people.

After giving his statement at the trial, Höss was returned to custody. In part due to his testimony the Allied judges were able to convict some of the worst Nazi war criminals, sentencing many of them to either death or long prison sentences, with Höss being convicted and sentenced to death.

Trivia[]

  • The real-life Rudolf Höss was tried and convicted at the Supreme National Tribunal in Warsaw and hanged in 1947.
  • Höss' grandson Rainer later said that he would have killed his grandfather if he had met him.
