Ernst Kaltenbrunner

Ernst Kaltenbrunner (1903–1946) was a senior Nazi official during World War II. He was the highest-ranking SS leader to face trial. He was executed for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Ernst Kaltenbrunner was one of several prominent Nazi officials who faced trial after World War II. The actions of the German Freedom Front prevent the trials on three separate occasions.

Note: Kaltenbrunner is not specifically named as one of those on trial, but as history follows of The Man With the Iron Heart follows a similar course as ours, there is no reason to think he wasn't facing trial as in OTL.

Ernst Kaltenbrunner in Worldwar
Ernst Kaltenbrunner (1903-1966) was Führer and Chancellor of Germany from 1965 to 1966.

When the Race invaded Earth in 1942, and after the Peace of Cairo was signed in 1945, Kaltenbrunner continued serving in the SS, ultimately becoming commander of the RHSA, a major security force comprised of many of the important police organizations in Germany. He held these posts throughout the chancellorships of Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler, and after Himmler's death was elected Chancellor by the Committee of Eight.

His reign was brief and disastrous. Shortly after taking office, Kaltenbrunner initiated Himmler's plan for the invasion of Poland, starting a war with the Race in which he was not supported by any other major human power. Though Germany inflicted significant damage on the Race's Tosev 3 colonies, it never had a chance. Kaltenbrunner himself was killed in the war, and the hierarchy of the Nazi Party was decimated. Kaltenbrunner was succeeded by Walter Dornberger, who immediately sued for peace.
