ETO Case 000­50­5­15, U.S. v. Paul Fenner et al., was tried at Dachau,
Germany, during the period July 21–22, 1947, before a General Military
Government Court. The case concerned three defendants accused of par­
ticipating in the operations of Mauthausen Concentration Camp and its
sub­camps and thereby, under the principle of common design, impli­
cated in mass atrocities and other war crimes. One of the defendants, Josef
Marakowitz, was not brought to trial. Of the convicted accused, Paul
Fenner was an SS master sergeant in charge of Camp Aafa, a small out­
detail or sub­camp of Mauthausen. Otto Koetzle was a capo and block eld­
est at sub­camp Schwacht and its outdetail Moedling. As approved by the
