Germany, during the period September 26–October 1, 1947, before a General
Military Government Court. The case concerned one defendant accused of
participating in the operations of Mauthausen Concentration Camp and its
sub­camps and thereby, on the principle of common design, implicated in
mass atrocities and other war crimes. The accused, a Waffen SS technical ser­
geant, was a guard, block leader, and detail leader at Mauthausen and roll
call leader at Wiener Neustadt. As approved by the reviewing authorities,
Bollhorst was sentenced to life in prison.
