Curt Bruns (March 12, 1915 – June 15, 1945) was a Wehrmacht captain and war criminal. He was the first war criminal to be executed by the United States Army for war crimes after World War II. Bruns was shot for having ordered the executions of two U.S. prisoner of war during the Battle of the Bulge after learning they were Ritchie Boys (German Jews). When giving the order, he said, "The Jews have no right to live in Germany."
