While reading about Elser who came so close to killing Hitler I was reminded of SS-Hscha. Franz Trenkle who apparently shared with SS-Oscha. Theodor Bongartz the duties of executioner at KL Dachau.

Does anybody have his promotion dates please.
Franz Xaver Trenkle (* December 23, 1898; † May 28, 1946 war criminals in Landsberg prison) was the SS main troop leader and as Deputy protective custody camp leader of the Dachau concentration camp and protective custody camp leader of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp set up.
Trenkle, and widowed father of four children, was since 1932 a member of the SS from November 1933 Trenkle in the Dachau concentration camp, and served there as a guide block to the spring of 1936 Trenkle was then command several foreign leaders in the camps of Dachau concentration camp. From May 1938 Trenkle was used as a command officer in the camp of St. Gilgen on the Wolfgangsee, also erroneously described as St. Wolfgang. There he was with two other SS men responsible for the monitoring of initially ten of the prisoners set up, there for the camp commandant Hans Loritz build a private villa should be. Following the construction of KL Neuengamme there was Trenkle 1940 Rapport Guide [2and then probably in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp moved. In November 1942 he returned to the warehouse service in the Dachau concentration camp and served there as deputy leader and Rapport protective custody camp leader until March 1944. Then Trenkle was protective custody camp leader in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp until early January 1945. From 6 January 1945 to Trenkle again acted as a command officer and supervised camp prisoners in the camp of the Dachau concentration camp in Lauingen. From the beginning of April 1945 until 29 April 1945 was Trenkle command officer in the camp airport Munich-Riem the Organization Todt.
After the war Trenkle was arrested on 15 November 1945 in the Dachau main process in the context of the processes Dachauer held as war criminals by a U.S. military court and indicted on 13 December 1945 because of the "help and participation in the crimes in the Dachau concentration camp" with other co thirty-five to death by the strand convicted. When you have been ruling as individual acts in excess Trenkle through the implementation of the Gestapo ordered executions and the mistreatment and killing of prisoners taken into account. The ruling was issued on 28 May 1946 in the prison of Landsberg am Lech enforced.
