Born in Szczecin, on the banks of the Oder River, in the northwest of present-day Poland, in August 1901, SS-Oberst-Gruppenführer Hans Kammler was, according to testimonies from the time, one of the most ruthless and ingenious hierarchs of the Nazi regime. Kammler developed his passion for the military field in 1919, when he voluntarily enlisted in the German army and began serving in the Rossbach Freikorps, one of the many improvised troops that, after World War I, began to include former veterans of the Reichswehr. That same year, he began studying engineering in Munich and Danzig, and obtained his doctorate at the end of 1932. Just one year earlier, in the fall of 1931, after contributing to the fight against communist blocs for control of the increasingly unstable Weimar Republic, Kammler decided to join the National Socialist German Workers' Party. Once inside the ranks of the Nazi Party, he developed a meteoric career toward power: by the winter of 1933, Kammler was already part of the SS.

At the beginning of the 1940s, immediately after being assigned to the SS-Wirtschafts- und Verwaltungshauptamt, Kammler became a collaborator of Oswald Pohl, the main administrator of the Nazi concentration camps. From his new position, Kammler suggested a new and harrowing solution to the problem of overcrowding in the camps: the construction of enormous crematorium buildings. On September 26, 1941, just a few days after the announcement of the plan designed for Majdanek, Kammler ordered the construction of the largest extermination center ever seen in Auschwitz, about 43 kilometers west of Krakow, where around 1.3 million people would be sent. Its construction took longer than expected, and on December 19, 1941, Kammler had to communicate with Himmler to update him on the situation: the slow progress in both Auschwitz and Majdanek was, according to him, due to low temperatures, lack of materials, and insufficient labor. To speed up the process, Kammler, as a member of the WVHA, was intimately involved in all major construction projects related to the extermination camps. Finally, in late March 1942, the mass deportation of Jews to Majdanek and Auschwitz began.
