Johann Eichhorn, a Nazi Party member and railway worker, lived a double life as one of Munich’s most sadistic predators. Between the late 1920s and 1938, he raped over 90 women and girls, murdering at least five victims in brutal fashion. Protected for years by Nazi censorship, his crimes were hidden from the public. In 1939, after his arrest and trial, Eichhorn was sentenced to death and executed by guillotine at Stadelheim Prison.
