Flyer lyncher Stemmler, Willi (+ 29. 10. 1948) bio needed

[SS-Researcher]

Hello!
A friend of mine is looking for the biography of Stemmler, Willi who was hanged in Landsberg 29. 10. 1948. According to the search I performed on the forum, he was hanged because he was in some way associated with the lynching of an allied pilot.

Can anyone supply more info?

Thanks and best wishes
Florian

Florian -- All I have is the case number, sentencing date, and the names of his co-defendants:

Case No.12-1545 & 12-2272 (US v. Fritz Dietrich et al) Trial concluded 15 Jul 1947
Dietrich, Fritz
Dintinger, Fritz
Eli, Albert
Hunsicker, Karl
Klein, Johann
Stemmler, Willi
Wandel, Richard
Zeitzer, Otto

I'll transfer this thread to the ABR section, which might be more productive.

Thanks David!
Any additions are very welcome!

Best wishes and thanks
Florian

His date of birth on his grave is 2 February 1899, not December.

Thanks for posting the grave photo, Max.

SS-DAL's of 30.01.1942 and 09.11.1944 give date of birth as 2.12.1899.

Does anyone has more info on the other co-defendants in the Stemmler-case??? Did they also have an SS-rank and where did they serve in??

Of course I'm talking here about Dintinger, Eli, Hunsicker, Klein, Wendel and Zeitzer. I don't have any of these men in my files and new names are making me curious. I'll run their names through google of course, hope I'll be able to find something. But any outside help is always appreciated.

Bye,
Mikedc

Hello Ron,

Thanks for sharing this with us, it's usefull info and it helps, that's the most important issue. And because I don't collect that much info on the ranks below Untersturmführer, this is almost sufficient enough.

Thanks,
Mike
