Johann Baptist Albin Rauter (February 4, 1895 – March 24, 1949)
was a high-ranking Austrian-born Nazi war criminal. He was the highest SS and
Police Leader in the occupied Netherlands and therefore the leading security
and police officer there during the period of 1940-1945. He reported directly
to the Nazi SS-chief, Heinrich Himmler, and in the second instance to the Nazi
governor of the Netherlands, Arthur Seyss-Inquart. After World War II he was
convicted in the Netherlands of crimes against humanity and executed by firing squad.
