Franz Paul Stangl〔 (March 26, 1908 – June 28, 1971) was an Austrian-born SS commandant of the Sobibór and Treblinka extermination camps during the Operation Reinhard phase of the Holocaust. He was arrested in Brazil in 1967, extradited and tried in West Germany for the mass murder of 900,000 people, and in 1970 was found guilty and sentenced to the maximum penalty, life imprisonment. He died of heart failure six months later.〔〔(Sobibor - The Forgotten Revolt )〕 ==Early life and Nazi affiliations== Stangl was born on March 26, 1908 in Altmünster, located in the Salzkammergut region of Austria. He was the son of a night-watchman and had such an emotionally distressing relationship with his father that he was deeply frightened by and hated the sight of the elder Stangl's Habsburg Dragoons uniform.〔Robert S. Wistrich (1982). ''Who's Who in Nazi Germany'', pp. 295-296.〕 Stangl claimed that his father died of malnutrition in 1916. To help support his family Franz learned to play the zither and earned money giving zither lessons. Stangl completed his public schooling in 1923.〔Henry Friedlander (1995). ''The Origins of Nazi Genocide: From Euthanasia to the Final Solution'', Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, pp. 204-205. ISBN 0-8078-2208-6〕 In his teens he secured an apprenticeship as a weaver, qualifying as a master weaver in 1927. Concerned that this trade offered few opportunities for advancement – and having observed the poor health of his co-workers – Stangl sought a new career. He moved to Innsbruck in 1930 and applied for an appointment in the Austrian federal police. Stangl later suggested that he liked the security and cleanliness that the police uniforms represented to him. He was accepted in early 1931 and trained for two years at the federal police academy in Linz.〔 Stangl became a member of the NSDAP (commonly referred to in English as the Nazi Party) in 1931, an illegal association for an Austrian police officer at that time. Post-war, he denied having been a Nazi since 1931 and claimed that he had enrolled as member of the party only to avoid arrest following the Anschluss of Austria into Nazi Germany in May 1938. Records suggest that Stangl contributed to a Nazi aid fund but he disavowed knowing about the intended party purpose of the fund. Stangl had Nazi Party number 6,370,447 and SS number 296,569. In 1935, Stangl was accepted into the ''Kriminalpolizei'' as detective in the Austrian town of Wels.〔 After Austria's ''Anschluss'' Stangl was assigned to the ''Schutzpolizei'' (which was taken over by the Gestapo) in Linz, where he was posted to the Jewish Bureau ((ドイツ語:Judenreferat)).〔Christian Zentner, Friedemann Bedürftig (1991). ''The Encyclopedia of the Third Reich'', pp. 910-911. Macmillan, New York. ISBN 0-02-897502-2〕 Stangl joined the SS in May 1938.〔 He would ultimately reach the rank of ''SS-Hauptsturmführer'' (Captain).〔Klee, Ernst: ''Das Personenlexikon zum Dritten Reich.
