I am interested in more information about:

Georg Runge Deputy commander KZ Sonnenburg
He was sentenced to death and executed in 1946 for his responsibility for a massacre by a Soviet military court in Rathenow

I am interested in his date and place of birth and death and his rank.

my source:

Runge wurde 1946 von einem sowjetischen Militärgericht in Rathenow ausprobiert und für das Massaker verurteilt, wurde zum Tode verurteilt. ...

...Justizorgane in der sowjetischen Besatzungszone führten bald nach Kriegsende Zeugenbefragungen durch, die zur Ergreifung von Georg Runge, dem stellvertretenden Direktor des Zuchthauses, führten. Er wurde 1946 wegen seiner Mitverantwortung für das Massaker von einem sowjetischen Militärgericht in Rathenow zum Tode verurteilt und hingerichtet. ...

Hi Ansata:

I'm finding a Georg Runge as having written an article in Nation und Staat in January 1940 edition (pp. 116-18?) entitled "Zur Umsiedlung der Volksdeutschen"

I think he may have been a member of or associated with the VoMi.

Runge was possibly a civil servant (Beamte) only. Sonnenburg was primarily a prison (Zuchthaus) so probably paid by the Ministry of Justice.
