SS Gruppenführer Dr Dr Otto Rasch (7 December 1891 – 1 November 1948) was a high-ranking Nazi official in the occupied Eastern territories, commanding Einsatzgruppe C (northern and central Ukraine) until October 1941.
Rasch was born in Friedrichsruh, northern Germany. With two university doctorates, Rasch was known as "Dr Dr Rasch", in accordance with German academic tradition. He organized the creation of the Soldau concentration camp. Rasch was indicted at the Einsatzgruppen trial in 1948 but died later that year.
