Who was Josef Blösche?
Josef Blösche was a member of the National Socialist German Workers Party in Germany, and served in the SS and SD during World War II as a Rottenführer. Blösche became known to the world as a symbol of the Nazi cruelty inflicted on people within the Warsaw ghetto because of a famous photograph taken during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising which portrays a surrendering little boy in the foreground, and Blösche as the SS soldier who is facing the boy with an MP18 sub-machine gun in hand.
