georg bachmayer -lrb- august 12 , 1913 -- may 8 , 1945 -rrb- was an ss - `` hauptsturmführer '' -lrb- captain -rrb- and member of the `` ss-totenkopfverbände '' who served as the `` schutzhaftlagerführer '' , with responsibility for prisoners while they were inside the mauthausen concentration camp , he also oversaw granite production in the quarry .
in this position he also inspected the satellite camps and supervised the construction of the ebensee camp .
he was considered a brutal sadist : '' `` bachmayer was clearly a sadist .
his speciality was to set two mastiff-like bloodhounds -lrb- one in 1944 `` lord '' -rrb- on inmates , which would literally tear them to death .
this was known in camp jargon as ` dying from the dog 's kiss ' .
the real cause of death from a medical point of view was usually general sepsis , if the inmate did n't die immediately of heart failure .
of the thousands of inmates that bachmayer himself killed or tortured , just two cases are mentioned here .
one day the evening roll call in block 20 did n't tally and one inmate was missing .
in block 20 the unfortunate victims of action k were housed under special security measures -lsb- ... -rsb- where they were left to die of hunger .
when the missing inmate was noticed , all the other inmates in the entire camp were first required to fall in and remain standing in the roll call area .
at the same time a search was initiated and the missing inmate was ultimately found in one of the normal inmate blocks where he had hidden in the hope of avoiding starvation .
when bachmayer received the report that the inmate had been found , he was standing by chance next to the undersigned .
he began to tremble with gleeful excitement and said half to himself ` i 'll batter this one to death myself ' , which he then proceeded to do . '' ''
gerhard kanthack , former german government official and political prisoner at mauthausen -lrb- amm v/3/20 -rrb- several examples of bachmayer 's brutality are described by vasily bunelik .
bachmayer committed suicide on may 8 , 1945 after shooting his wife and two children .
