Post Waffen-SS WWII heros. I'll start.

>In February, the unruly unit was promptly reassigned for anti-partisan duties in German-occupied Belarus, "with a speciality of 'pacifying' an area by slaughtering every man, woman and child."[6] In Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin, Timothy Snyder wrote that "Dirlewanger's preferred method was to herd the local population inside a barn, set the barn on fire, and then shoot with machine guns anyone who tried to escape."[7] Rounded-up civilians were repeatedly used as human shields and marched over minefields.[8] In Masters of Death, Richard Rhodes wrote that Dirlewanger and his force "raped and tortured young women and slaughtered Jews Einsatzgruppen-style in Byelorussia beginning in 1942."[3] Snyder cautiously estimated that the Sonderkommando, by then regiment-sized, killed at least 30,000 Belarusian civilians.[7] Some other estimates are much higher, such as 120,000 people killed in 200 villages.[14] Himmler was well aware of Dirlewanger's reputation and record, but nonetheless awarded him the German Cross in Gold on 5 December 1943,[29] in recognition of his unit's actions such as during Operation Cottbus (May—June 1943), during which Dirlewanger reported exterminating more than 14,000 "bandits".

>In mid-1944, during the German rout from Belarus, Dirlewanger's unit suffered heavy losses in rear-guard fights against Soviet regulars. It was then hastily rebuilt and reformed into a "storm brigade" and used in the suppression of the Warsaw Uprising. Historian Martin Windrow wrote that in summer of 1944 Dirlewanger led his "butchers, rapists and looters into action against the Warsaw Uprising, and quickly committed ... unspeakable crimes."[29] In Warsaw, Dirlewanger participated in the Wola massacre, together with police units rounding up and shooting some 40,000 civilians, most of them in just two days.[7] In the same Wola district, Dirlewanger burned three hospitals with patients inside, while the nurses were "whipped, gang-raped and finally hanged naked, together with the doctors" to the accompaniment of the traditional song "In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus". .[7] Later, "they drank, raped and murdered their way through the Old Town, slaughtering civilians and fighters alike without distinction of age or sex."[8] In the Old Town – where about 30,000 civilians were killed – several thousand wounded in field hospitals overrun by the Germans were shot and set on fire with flamethrowers.[7] Reportedly, "the Dirlewanger brigade burned prisoners alive with gasoline, impaled babies on bayonets and stuck them out of windows and hanged women upside down from balconies."[30] SS-Obergruppenführer Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski, overall commander of the forces pacifying Warsaw – and Dirlewanger's former boss in Belarus – described Dirlewanger as having "a typical mercenary nature";[31] von dem Bach's staff officer sent to summon Dirlewanger before him was driven off at gunpoint.[32] The unit won a dubious distinction of having suffered extremely severe casualties in Warsaw, losing a total 315% [sic][33] of its personnel (including reinforcements and replacements) in just two months of fighting.

Holy shit. This guy.
>One of Dirlwangers most personal atrocious public acts, was during the Warsaw Uprising. When one of his SS units marched a group of Polish civilians past him, he walked up to a family and then ripped a newborn infant from a mothers arms. He than swung the baby by one arm into a burning pile of debris from the fighting, as he made the parents and crowd watch the infant be burnt alive. He ordered the unit to murder the civilians on site.
