I have just find out that, after the war, on the 22th of december 1948 some members of the Diez prison personal were trialed to minimum 5 years and maximum 20 years of labour work. There where 10 persons trialed and into those 10 persons where the prison director, the chief of the guards and also a medic but I didn't find out their names. I also found out that one (maybe the medic) was trialed to labour work till the end of his life.
Unfortunately I didn't found their names.
I found those information over here but in german language:
