Speck Adolf
Adolf Speck (1911-46) came as a guard to Neuengamme Concentration Camp
and, in the same summer, was put in command of the concentration camp brickworks. He was known to be brutal and violent. On the night of the crime he was guarding the Soviet prisoners-of-war with
Wiehagen. During the Curio-Haus trial he admitted that he had shot one of the prisoners because he had thrown salt in his (Speck’s) face. In May 1946 he was sentenced to death and executed the
following October.
