Nurse Hildegard Lechert, who joined the MaidAnek concentration camp (in Poland) in the fall of 1942 at the age of 22, immediately changed her medical gown for the SS warden's uniform. During the war years, the ruthless Frau Lechert, who also managed to work in the death camps of Auschwitz, Mauthausen and Bolzano, was nicknamed "Bloody Brigida" for her sophisticated cruelty.
The convinced fascist Hildegard, feeling her superiority over the prisoners of concentration camps, did not limit herself to the moral humiliation of the prisoners, but got real pleasure in going beyond the bounds of humanity. Aiding in the murder of about 1200 people, only guilty of not being pure-blooded Germans, she never once repented of the atrocities she had committed, without emotion listening to the testimony of witnesses and the evidence obtained by the prosecutor of her bloodthirsty crimes. According to the recollections of the former prisoner of the concentration camp Heinrich Ostrowski, Lechert, falling into a rage, beat the powerless prisoners with a whip until they bled to death, dying in terrible agony. Her other instrument of torture was trained shepherd dogs, whom she set on pregnant women, getting pleasure from seeing the picture of how frenzied animals torment and tear to shreds the flesh of poor martyrs and kill their unborn children. Sadist Lechert drowned the workers who cleaned the cesspools of latrines in the sewage, and with a painful agiotage snatched babies from the mothers' hands, which she threw into the trucks that took the prisoners to the gas chambers.
For the first time, Heldegard began talking about war crimes in November 1947, when the trial began in Krakow, where she, along with 40 other wardens of the Nazi camps, shared the dock. This time, Lechert, who was found guilty of many inhuman atrocities, was sentenced to 15 years in prison. The fact that she had three young children contributed to the mitigation of the sentence. After serving only 9 years of her term, Lechert was released, and 19 years later she again became a defendant in the Maidanek case, which had been held in Düsseldorf for 5 years. Ultimately, the judge, failing to satisfy the prosecutor's eight-fold demand for life imprisonment, passed a sentence that limited her freedom for only 12 years. However, their Hildegard did not have to while away behind barbed wire, since she was credited with a Polish prison term and five years of pre-trial detention in West Germany.
Years later, it became known that in 1956, immediately after being released from a Polish prison, Lechert, expelled from Eastern Europe to Berlin, was taken to the emergency camp of Marienfelde, where she was recruited by CIA agents. They were not at all embarrassed by her criminal Nazi past. In the midst of the Cold War, all methods of "fighting" were good, and therefore, Hitler's accomplice, who had been on the enemy side for a long time, who, according to her, wanted to be attracted as an informant by the Polish special services, quickly found a job. Receiving a good salary, Lechert, who was officially listed as a watchman in a brothel, at first unquestioningly fulfilled all the requirements and orders of the CIA. However, in the spring of 1957, Hildegard, in whose characteristics it was indicated that she acquired positive qualities for the agent through training in the SS, broke the rules of work by appearing without a call to the American embassy and telling its employees about her secret mission. Following this incident, Lechert was transferred from the CIA to the West Berlin-based Fed structure, where she first charmed the Germans and then was fired for the same reason. Hildegard Lechert graduated from her bloody earthly journey in Berlin, dying at the age of 75.
Looking at the photographs of this pretty smiling woman, it is hard to believe that it was she who was nicknamed the "Buchenwald Witch" and that she was guilty of sophisticated bullying and murder of tens of thousands of people. But nevertheless it is so.
Ilse Köhler was born on September 22, 1906 in Drezden, in a working class family. At the age of 15, she entered the school of accountants, worked in the accounting department, and then in the library. In 1932, the girl joined the National Socialist German Workers' Party, and in 1934 she met Standartenführer Karl Otto Koch. They got married two years later. In 1936, Ilsa, who now bore her husband's surname - Kokh - began to work as a secretary and at the same time as a guard in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp near Berlin, where Karl Kokh, in turn, got a job as commandant. Thus began their "career" in this field.
