Some Famous People called Carl Oberg
Carl Oberg
Carl Oberg (27 January 1897 – 3 June 1965) was a German SS functionary during the Nazi era. He served as the head of the SS and police (HSSPF) in occupied France during the Second World War and came to be known as the Butcher of Paris. Oberg deported over 40,000 Jews from France and had hundreds of hostages executed. Arrested by the Americans in the Tyrol in July 1945, he was twice sentenced to death by two different courts. However, in 1958 the death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment and later reduced to 20 years hard labour. Oberg was eventually pardoned and released on 28 November 1962.
