Question: What Luftwaffe general who was responsible for the murder of the male civilians of a Greek village was later convicted for war crimes?
Context: The "Winter Soldier Investigation" was a media event sponsored by the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) from January 31, 1971, to February 2, 1971.  It was intended to publicize war crimes and atrocities by the United States Armed Forces and their allies in the Vietnam War.  The VVAW challenged the morality and conduct of the war by showing the direct relationship between military policies and war crimes in Vietnam.  The three-day gathering of 109 veterans and 16 civilians took place in Detroit, Michigan.  Discharged servicemen from each branch of military service, as well as civilian contractors, medical personnel and academics, all gave testimony about war crimes they had committed or witnessed during the years 1963–1970. Kurt Student (12 May 1890 – 1 July 1978) was a German paratroop general in the Luftwaffe during World War II.  He launched the first major airborne operation of the war, the Battle for The Hague in May 1940.  The highest-ranking member of Germany's parachute infantry, Student commanded the Fallschirmjäger throughout World War II.  In 1947, Student was tried and convicted of war crimes committed while in command on Crete. The Wehrmacht War Crimes Bureau, 1939-1945 is a book by Alfred-Maurice de Zayas.  It was published in November 1979 in Germany by Universitas/Langen Müller under the title "Die Wehrmacht-Untersuchungsstelle", and in America in 1989 under the title "The Wehrmacht War Crimes Bureau, 1939-1945" (University of Nebraska Press).  Professor Howard S. Levie, an expert in international humanitarian law, provided the preface for the American version.  The book describes some of the work of the Wehrmacht War Crimes Bureau, a special section of the legal department of the Wehrmacht High Command, which collected reports of alleged Allied and German war crimes for purposes of diplomatic protests, war crimes trials, and white books. Heinrich Dankelmann (2 August 1889 – 30 October 1947) was a Luftwaffe General who served as the third Military Commander for the Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia.  He was sentenced for war crimes in Belgrade in 1947. There are differences from one country to another regarding the definition of Japanese war crimes.  War crimes have been broadly defined as violations of the laws or customs of war, which include crimes against either enemy combatants or enemy non-combatants.  War crimes also included deliberate attacks on citizens and property of neutral states as they fall under the category of non-combatants, as at the attack on Pearl Harbor.  Military personnel from the Empire of Japan have been accused and/or convicted of committing many such acts during the period of Japanese imperialism from the late 19th to mid-20th centuries.  They have been accused of conducting a series of human rights abuses against civilians and prisoners of war (POWs) throughout east Asia and the western Pacific region.  These events reached their height during the Second Sino-Japanese War of 1937–45 and the Asian and Pacific campaigns of World War II (1941–45). James Gowing Godwin (12 March 1923–2 May 1995) was a Royal New Zealand Navy aviator, prisoner of war, war crimes investigator and colonial administrator.  After the end of World War II, as a captain in the Australian Army he became an investigator with the Second Australian War Crimes Section in Tokyo in July 1947; he developed the case against Lieutenant General Takuma Nishimura for ordering the mass execution and cremation of 155 wounded Australian and Indian soldiers at war crimes at the Parit Sulong Massacre.  He also worked for the First Australian War Crimes Section, based in Singapore, then worked for the British colonial service. The Massacre of Kondomari (Greek: Σφαγή στο Κοντομαρί ) refers to the execution of male civilians from the village of Kondomari in Crete by an firing squad consisting of German paratroopers on 2 June 1941 during World War II.  The shooting was the first of a series of reprisals in Crete.  It was orchestrated by Generaloberst Kurt Student, in retaliation for the participation of Cretans in the Battle of Crete which had ended with the surrender of the island two days earlier.  The massacre was photographed by a German army war propaganda correspondent whose negatives were discovered 39 years later in the federal German archives by a Greek journalist. The article summarizes casualties in different theatres of World War II in Europe and North Africa.  Only the military losses and civilian losses directly associated with hostilities are included into the article.  The actions of the Axis' and Allied military or civilian authorities that fit the definition of genocide, or war crimes (including Nazi war crimes, Soviet war crimes, Allied war crimes, Holocaust, Nazi crimes against Soviet POWs "et caetera") are left beyond the scope of the present article. The Sri Lankan Civil war was very costly, killing over 100,000+ civilians and 50,000+ fighters from both sides of the conflict.  The "Tamil Centre for Human Rights" recorded that from 1983 to 2004, 47,556 Tamil civilians were murdered by both the Sri Lankan government and IPKF forces.  Another organization called NESOHR published that from the beginning of the war to the , 4000 to 5000 Tamil civilians were killed in large scale massacres, with a total civilian death of around 40,000.  Civilian casualties that occurred on 2009 is of major controversy, as there were no organizations to record the events during the final months of the war.  The Sri Lankan government revealed that 9,000 people were killed in the final months of the war, but it did not differentiate between LTTE cadres and civilians.  The UN, based on credible witness evidence from aid agencies and civilians evacuated from the "Safe Zone" by sea, estimated that 6,500 civilians were killed and another 14,000 injured between mid-January 2009, when the "Safe Zone" was first declared, and mid-April 2009.  There are no official casualty figures after this period but estimates of the death toll for the final four months of the civil war (mid-January to mid-May) range from 15,000 to 20,000.  A US State Department report has suggested that the actual casualty figures were probably much higher than the UN's estimates and that significant numbers of casualties weren't recorded.  A former UN official has claimed that up to 40,000 civilians may have been killed in the final stages of the civil war.  Several human rights groups have even claimed that the death toll in the last months of the war could be 70,000.  The Sri Lankan government has denied all claims of causing mass casualties against Tamils, arguing that it was "taking care not to harm civilians".  Instead, it has blamed the LTTE for the high casualty numbers, stating that they used the civilians as human shields.  Both the Sri Lankan government and the LTTE have been accused by the U.N for war crimes during the last phase of the war. The Manila massacre involved atrocities committed against Filipino civilians in the City of Manila, the capital of the Philippines by Japanese troops during World War II at the Battle of Manila in 1945.  The Manila massacre was one of several major war crimes committed by the Imperial Japanese Army, as judged by the postwar military tribunal.  The Japanese commanding general, Tomoyuki Yamashita, and his chief of staff Akira Mutō, were held responsible for the massacre and other war crimes in a trial in late 1945 in Manila.  Yamashita was executed on 23 February 1946 and Mutō on 23 December 1948.
