What did Ernst Kaltenbrunner do?

Ernst Kaltenbrunner was a very high ranking officer in the Schutzstaffel or the SS as it was popularly known. The Schutzstaffel were the Nazi body that were most responsible for the crimes committed by the Nazis against the Jews.

Ernst Kaltenbrunner was trying to escape the crimes that he committed while in the SS by calling Rudolf Hoess to give testimony on his behalf. His logic was that if Rudolf Hoess was so brutal to Jews and yet never saw him commit crimes, it would be proof that he was innocent of crimes against Jews.
