Paul Bredow (31 October 1903 – December 1945) was a German
Holocaust perpetrator. He served at Treblinka extermination camp during the Operation Reinhard phase of the Holocaust in Poland.[1][2]
Bredow was from German Silesia (Schlesien). He served at
Sobibor, where he was put in charge of the "Lazarett". His hobby there was the target shooting of Jews with a pistol, fifty a day, which was fully approved by his superior Christian Wirth.[3]
Bredow was transferred to
San Sabba concentration camp in Trieste (Italy) before the war ended. He returned to Germany after the war and worked for a few months as carpenter together with his SS friend Karl Frenzel in Giessen until November 1945. In December 1945, Bredow was killed in a car accident in Göttingen.[3]
