Otto Kümm (1 October 1909 – 23 March 2004) was a German military officer who commanded two Waffen-SS divisions in the latter stages of World War II and was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords. At the post-war Nuremberg trials, the Waffen-SS – of which Kümm was a senior officer – was declared to be a criminal organisation due to its major involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity. After the war, Kümm became one of the founders of HIAG, a lobby group and a revisionist organization of former Waffen-SS members. Read more on Wikipedia
