Walter Eisfeld (born 11 July 1905 in Halle, Saxony-Anhalt – died 3 April 1940 in Dachau) was a German SS functionary and concentration camp commandant during the Nazi era. Eisfeld had been a member of the Artamanen-Gesellschaft, a völkisch back-to-the-land movement, before becoming involved with the Nazi Party and its organisations.[1] Whilst Schutzhaftlagerführer at Sachsenhausen in January 1940 he was sent to Silesia to examine the possibility of establishing new camps. Against Eisfeld's advice a site at Auschwitz was chosen.[2] Having risen to the rank of Sturmbannführer, Eisfeld succeeded Hermann Baranowski as commandant at Sachsenhausen concentration camp before being replaced by Hans Loritz.[3] Heinrich Himmler visited Sachsenhausen in early 1940 and, seeing disciplinary problems amongst the guards, ordered Eisfeld to be replaced as camp commandant.[4] He was sent to command the new Neuengamme concentration camp, at the time a sub-camp of Sachsenhausen.[5] Eisfeld died suddenly at Dachau while attending a ceremony in which he was to be awarded a Nazi Party Badge.[6] References1. ^Tom Segev, Soldiers of Evil, Berkley Books, 1991, p. 200 {{DEFAULTSORT:Eisfeld, Walter}}{{Nazi-stub}}2. ^Yisrael Gutman, Michael Berenbaum, Anatomy of the Auschwitz Death Camp, Indiana University Press, 1998, p. 292 3. ^Robert Melvin Spector, World Without Civilization: Mass Murder and the Holocaust, History and Analysis, Volume 1, University Press of America, 2005, p. 363 4. ^Segev, Soldiers of Evil, p. 164 5. ^The SS guards 6. ^Karin Orth, Die Konzentrationslager-SS, Wallstein, 2000, p. 164 9 : 1905 births|1940 deaths|SS-Sturmbannführer|Sachsenhausen concentration camp personnel|Neuengamme concentration camp personnel|People from Halle (Saale)|Nazi concentration camp commandants|People from the Province of Saxony|20th-century Freikorps personnel |
