Herbert Backe

Herbert Friedrich Wilhelm Backe was a German Nazi politician and Obergruppenfhrer in the SS. He developed and implemented the Hunger Plan that envisioned death by starvation of millions of Slavic and Jewish useless eaters following Operation Barbarossa, the 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union.

Herbert Backe was born in Batumi, Russian Georgia, the son of a retired Prussian lieutenant turned trader. His mother was a Caucasus German, whose family had emigrated from Wrttemberg to Russia in the early 19th century. He studied at the Tbilisi gymnasium from 1905 and was interned on the outbreak of World War I as an enemy alien because he was a citizen of Prussia. This experience of being imprisoned for being German and witnessing the beginning of the Bolshevik Revolution made Backe an anticommunist.
