Arthur Seyss-Inquart (July 22, 1892 – October 16, 1946) was a Nazi politician who served as Chancellor of Austria before the Anschluss. He remained a puppet of Hitler throughout the war. Inquart authorized about 800 executions, although some reports put the total at over 1,500, including executions under the so-called "Hostage Law", the death of political prisoners who were close to being liberated. It is believed that Inquart met with Mohammed Amin Al-Husseini to talk about collaboration. [1]

Inquart was among the few notable Christians in the Nazi Party. He was among the Nazis who repented while at Nuremberg. [2]
