KL Buchenwald Lagerkommandant SS Karl Otto Koch

Ultra rare document signed personally by KL Buchenwald Lagerkommandant SS-Standartenführer Karl Otto Koch regarding the approval of the weekly parole of the camp, dated 5. April 1939. In this document, we can read the parole of the week of KL Buchenwald, a kind of text with all the days of the week talking about bravery, tradition, duty, etc. This document is signed by Otto Koch, who personally approves this song and says that text must be written in a big plaque in the Buchenwald Commandment. A very curious and rare document. A great chance to get a piece of history of the Nazi concentration camp system! Karl-Otto Koch ( 2 August 1897 – 5 April 1945) was a mid-ranking commander in the SS of Nazi Germany who was the first commandant of the Nazi concentration camps at Buchenwald and Sachsenhausen. From September 1941 until August 1942, he served as the first commandant of the Majdanek concentration camp in occupied Poland, stealing vast amounts of valuables and money from murdered Jews. His wife, Ilse Koch, also took part in the notorious crimes at Buchenwald and Majdanek.For further information about Karl Otto Koch, check this link below:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl-Otto_Koch
