Hans Kummerlöwe
Richard Arthur Hans Kummerlöwe (5 September 1903 in
Leipzig – 11 August 1995 in
Münich), with the spelling changed to
Kumerloeve from 1948 was a German ornithologist who served as an
SS Officer during the
Second World War. He initially worked as a zoological curator at the Dresden Museum but during the
