Commandant Johannes Hassebroeck
Josef Liepold is the commandant of Oskar Schindler’s Brinnlitz camp. Unlike many of the middle-aged SS officers in the garrison at Brinnlitz, Liepold is not indifferent and is fiercely devoted to the concept of a “Final Solution” (a total extermination of Jewish people). Schindler is able to keep Liepold at bay for a while, but finally he is forced to use trickery to get Liepold deployed to active combat duty instead.

This deft subversion may not have satisfied Liepold and Schoenbrun. For the sitting had not reached a formal conclusion; it had not ended in a judgment. But they could not complain that Oskar had avoided a hearing, or treated it with levity.
Dresner’s account, given later in his life, raises the supposition that Brinnlitz maintained its prisoners’ lives by a series of stunts so rapid that they were nearly magical. To tell the strict truth though, Brinnlitz, both as a prison and as a manufacturing enterprise, was itself, of its nature and in a literal sense, the one sustained, dazzling, integral confidence trick.
