About Albert Forster
Albert Maria Forster was a German Nazi Party politician, member of the SS and war criminal. During the Second World War, under his administration as the Gauleiter and Reichsstatthalter of Danzig-West Prussia, the local non-German populations of Poles and Jews were classified as sub-human and subjected to extermination campaigns involving ethnic cleansing, mass murder, and in the case of some Poles with German ancestry, forceful Germanisation. Forster was directly responsible for the extermination of non-Germans and was a strong supporter of Polish genocide, which he had advocated before the war. Forster was tried, convicted and hanged in Warsaw for his crimes, after Germany was defeated.
