Bomhard Adolf von
Adolf von Bomhard (born 6 January 1891 in Augsburg - died 19 July 1976) was an SS-Gruppenführer and Generalleutnant of the
Ordnungspolizei in the German Third Reich. In the post-war era he was Bürgermeister of Prien am Chiemsee. During the First World War, Bomhard saw service as an officer in the Bavarian Army,
eventually finishing the war as adjutant to Franz Ritter von Epp. Bomhard would later write and publish
the history of his regiment.
Bomhard was sent to Kiev in November 1942 to succeed Otto von Oelhafen as head of police in Reichskommissariat Ukraine. Bomhard followed the same path as his predecessor of integrating police
operations with the murderous activities of the SS in the area. Holding the role until October 1943, Bomhard took an important role in ideological instruction of the Ukrainian police in the
Nazi Weltanschauung. After the Second World War Bomhard served as mayor of Prien am Chiemsee whilst also becoming involved in societies for former members of the police.
