Nazis forced tens of thousands of convicts to serve as soldiers in Strafbataillons during the Second World War
One battalion, the 36th Waffen SS Grenadier Division, was known as the 'worst of the worst' and was made up of hardened criminals, psychopaths, rapists and murderers led by child molester Oskar Dirlewanger
The unit was used to terrorise civilians and was so notorious other SS commanders tried to have it shut down
Dirlewanger's men perpetrated campaigns of rape and mass murder including the execution of 500 children
They were Hitler's equivalent of the Dirty Dozen and known 
as the 'worst of the worst' - an entire SS division made up entirely of 
psychopaths, murderers and rapists and led by a child molester.
The 36th Waffen SS Grenadier Division, commanded by Oskar Dirlewanger, 
was initially created to wage war against resistance fighters in Poland,
 but soon became a weapon of terror used indiscriminately against 
civilians and armed combatants alike.
Over the course of the war the unit was implicated in 
campaigns of rape, mass murder and poisonings including injecting Jews 
with strychnine and watching as they died in agony.
The first men invited to join the 36th were convicted poachers on the 
grounds that they could use their skills as woodsmen to track down 
guerrilla fighters in their countryside hideaways.
