`` ss-hauptsturmführer '' hans krueger -lrb- 1 july 1909 -- 8 february 1988 -rrb- was a german captain of the gestapo in occupied poland during world war ii , involved in organizing the string of massacres after the commencement of operation barbarossa behind the curzon line .
his murderous rampage in the general government territory against the ethnic poles and the polish jews began with the massacre of lviv professors in july 1941 , which was followed by the czarny las massacre near stanisławów -lrb- now ivano-frankivsk , ukraine -rrb- in august 1941 , as well as the notorious bloody sunday massacre of 10,000 -- 12,000 jews : men , women and children in october 1941 , leading to the liquidation of the stanisławów ghetto a year later .
krueger -lrb- also spelled krüger -rrb- was known as `` the right man for the job '' due to his nazi fanaticism which earned him the seat of a city commandant in 1941 but also his brutality exhibited through hands-on participation in the killings .
