Background
Paul Ogorzov was a German railway worker and a loyal Nazi party member.
The offence
Ogorzov earned local notoriety as the "S Bahn murderer" in World War II. He stalked female victims around Rummelsburg on the Berlin line. He killed for sexual satisfaction and relished the fear of his chosen prey.
Between 1939 and 1941, Ogorzov killed at least eight women. He raped most of them before they were beaten to death with a length of lead cable.
Trial
Ogorzov was 28 years old when his trial opened on July 24, 1941.
The proceedings were rushed through in a single afternoon. He received no sympathy from his fellow Nazis. He was sentenced to death.
Outcome
Ogorzov was executed by a firing squad on July 26, 1941.
