Willi Herold (11 September 1925 – 14 November 1946), also known as "the Executioner of Emsland", was a German war criminal. Near the end of World War II in Europe, Herold deserted from the German Army and, posing as a Luftwaffe captain, organized the mass execution of German army deserters held at a prison camp.[1][2] Herold was arrested by British forces and executed for war crimes on 14 November 1946 at Wolfenbüttel prison.[3]
