sentenced to death (commuted to life 30.08.1947, released 23.10.1953)

Johann Arndt (25.04.1911 in Datteln, SS-Hauptscharführer, Kriminaloberassistent)

Walter Felix Küper (19.12.1904 in Gelsenkirchen, SS-Hauptsturmführer, Kriminalkommissar)
sentenced to 20 years imprisonment (released 14.11.1952)

I am not sure: Maybe there were more defendants in this trial.(maybe Seufert + Lauer, and other)

according to majorie-wiki, after his release Weimann worked for the CIA and Gehlen.
He had been imprisoned for the last 8 years, makes me wonder what he had to offer at this stage in the cold war?
