Wikipedia description:
Richard Otto Bovensiepen (8 July 1905 – 18 February 1979) was a German lawyer and police official who headed the Gestapo in several German cities, including Berlin. He also was an SS-Standartenführer who served as the Commander of the Security Police and the SD in occupied Denmark from January 1944 until the end of the Second World War in May 1945. He was tried and sentenced to death for war crimes in Denmark in 1948, but his sentence was commuted and he was released by a general amnesty in 1953. A subsequent prosecution in Germany for the deportation of Jews to extermination camps was dismissed in 1971 due to his poor health.
