  • August Becker (born 17 August 1900 in Staufenberg near Giessen, Germany; died 31 December 1967) was during the Nazi regime in Germany (1933-1945) an SS lieutenant colonel and chemist in the Central Reich Security Office. He was an expert on the murder of large numbers of people by gas, and was active in widespread Nazi killings programs, including Action T4 and the use of gas vans by Einsatzgruppen (mobile Nazi death squads) to murder large numbers of people, especially Jews, in the Nazi-occupied portions of the Soviet Union. Generally his role was to provide important technical support, but on at least one occasion he personally gassed about 20 people.
