Franz stengel biography
After the inmate uprising in Treblinka in August 1943, the camp was closed down, and Stangl and the remaining SS staff transferred to Triest, Italy, to fight partisans.
After the war, he eventually emigrated to Brazil, where he was arrested in 1967 and extradited to Germany.
In 1970, he was put on trial in Düsseldorf as the only defendant in Germany’s second Treblinka Show Trial. After the orthodox narrative of Treblinka had been cast incontestably into legal stone during the first Düsseldorf Treblinka Trial in 1964/65, with Kurt Franz as one of the defendants, Stangl’s trial outcome was predetermined.
