Eichmann deputy Günther
Any bio on Eichman Berlin deputy Rolf Günther?
Also is it true that when Eichaman was dictating his autobiography (to be published after his death) he blurted out an incident damaging to Günther and then retractred it because Rolf was
still alive??

Rolf died on may 1945 in Austria, he commited suicide in a hospital.
He was the right hand of Eichmann, authorized to sign the memos of IVB4 section.
The incident about Rolf is not true, I did read the bio and collect info about the Eichmann Deputies.
Hans the brother of Rolf was captured by partisans and executed in 1945.
Best,

Just as extra trivia, Rolf Günther was the one who personally got in touch with Kurt Gerstein at the Waffen-SS Institute for Hygiene, sometime in May or early June 1942, and entrusted him with the secret mission of fetching Zyklon B in Czechoslovakia (in order that no invoices would be emitted from the Reich) and convey his cargo to Globocnik, in Lublin.

Re: Eichmann deputy Günther
That picture is not Rolf, but Hans Günther, who was hanged in May in 1945

Hi everyone;RecallingSonia wrote:That picture is not Rolf, but Hans Günther, who was hanged in May in 1945
I'm in a state of confusion. I thought this picture was Rolf Günther of IVB4. RecallingSonia seems to think it is his brother Hans. Can anyone clarify, please? And if this is correct, are there any certified pics of Rolf ?
Thanks in advance
