Ernst Kaltenbrunner

Ernst Kaltenbrunner (1903-1965) was Chancellor of Germany in 1965.

Born in Austria in 1903, Kaltenbrunner joined the Nazi Party of that country as well as the SS in 1932 after a brief career as a lawyer. He ascended to the rank of general in the SS in 1941. During World War II, he played a major role in many of that organization's infamous wartime crimes, including the establishment of concentration camps.

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 chancellorship was brief and disastrous. Shortly after taking office he ordered his forces to invade 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 colony, Germany never had a chance. Kaltenbrunner himself was killed in the war. The hierarchy of the Nazi Party had been decimated. He was succeeded by Walter Dornberger, who immediately sued for peace.
