ETO Case 000­50­5­49, U.S. v. Paul Wolfram, was tried at Dachau, Germany,
during the period October 15–16, 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 defendant, Paul Wolfram, a Waffen SS
first lieutenant, was the general manager and representative of operators of
the stone quarry at Gusen I. The quarry was owned and operated by the
German Earth and Stone Works Company (Deutsche Erd­ und Steinwerk
or DEST), a firm owned and operated by the SS. As approved by the reviewing
authority, Wolfram was sentenced to life in prison.
