In autumn 1943, SS judge Konrad Morgen visited Auschwitz
concentration camp to investigate an intercepted parcel containing
gold sent from the camp. While there Morgen found the SS camp
guards engaged in widespread theft and corruption. Worse, Morgen
also discovered that inmates were being killed without authority
from the SS leadership. While millions of Jews were being
exterminated under the Final Solution programme , Konrad Morgen set
about gathering evidence of these illegal murders'. Morgen also
visited other camps such as Buchenwald where he had the notorious
camp commandant Karl Koch and Ilse, his sadistic spouse, arrested
and charged. Found guilty by an SS court, Koch was sentenced to
death. Remarkably, the apparently fearless SS judge also tried to
prosecute other Nazi criminals including Waffen-SS commanders Oskar
Dirlewanger and Hermann Fegelein and Auschwitz Commandant Rudolf
Hoss. He even claimed to have tried to indict Adolf Eichmann, who
was responsible for organising the mass deportation of the Jews to
the extermination camps. This intriguing work reveals how the lines
between justice and injustice became blurred in the Third Reich. As
well as describing the actions of this often contradictory
character the author questions Morgen's motives.
