Albert Hugo Schuster (original) (raw)

Albert Hugo Schuster (February 13, 1912 – May 31, 1973) was a Nazi war criminal who was responsible for police units in village. He was notorious for his brutality, earning the nickname "The Butcher of the Łysogóry". Schuster avoided detection after the war. After Polish investigators reopened a search for war criminals, they discovered Schuster, who was now living in East Germany. Schuster was arrested and put on trial for his crimes by an East German court. He was found guilty, sentenced to death, and executed in 1973.
