Biographical History

Private, German army; guard at Sachsenhausen concentration camp.

Scope and Content

This folder contains the personal papers of Friedrich Riebe, born in 1901, inducted into the SS in September 1944 and became a concentration camp guard in Sachsenhausen in November 1944. According to his records, he was a butcher by trade, who had been working as an auxiliary worker in a chemical factory in May 1944. The documents are interesting for the background of a concentration camp guard. Also of interest is the poor quality of the actual paper by November 1944.
