Karl Frenzel, SS-Oberscharführer, (August 28, 1911 - 1998) is a Nazi commandant convicted of war crimes, but ultimately released on health grounds.
Assigned to Sobibór extermination camp on August 28, 1942, he remained there until the prisoner revolt on October 14, 1943. During his stay he aided in the implementation of the Final Solution, taking part in the industrial-scale extermination of thousands of inmates as part of Operation Reinhard.[1]
In 1966 he was sentenced to life imprisonment for personally murdering six Jews, and for his part in the murder of a further 150,000 as Commandant of Sobibór's Lager (camp) No. I.[2] He was released on a technicality in 1982, re-tried, and again sentenced to life imprisonment. Due to ill health, the sentence was not imposed.[3]
In the 1987 British movie Escape from Sobibor, Karl Frenzel was played by Kurt Raab.
