Arthur Günzel

I am interested in more information about the trial and crimes of:

Arthur Günzel
21.03.1898 in Hirschberg
arrested 22.01.1946
death sentence 12.10.1947 in Wroclaw
executed 20.11.1947 in Wroclaw

Was he policeman or member SA or member Gestapo? Or maybe staff of Gross Rosen?

Maybe forum members from Poland can help me.

According to the article, Güntzel worked as paramedic in a delousing facility in Jelenia Góra (Hirschberg). Prisoners from nearby labor camps were brought to this facility. He was accused of pouring full strength disinfectant on 9 men, causing death of 4 of them and injury to others. Also he was abusive towards prisoners in shower room.
Accused denied allegations saying he was working in boiler room and did not have any contact with prisoners.
Numerous witnesses confirmed the charges, Güntzel was sentenced to death and his property confiscated.
