What happened to the kommandant at Colditz after liberation?

Answer 1

After the liberation of Colditz Castle in 1945, the German kommandant, Colonel Georg von Berlepsch, was taken into custody by Allied forces. He faced interrogation regarding his role and actions during the war. Following this, he was eventually released without facing significant legal consequences, and he later lived in Germany, where he worked in various capacities, including as a businessman. His post-war life was relatively quiet compared to the notoriety of his position during the war.
