Wilhelm Kube (13 November 1887 – 22 September 1943) was a Nazi official and German politician.He was an important figure in the German Christian movement during the early years of German rule.
During the war he became a senior official in the occupying government of the Soviet Union, achieving the rank of Generalkommissar for Generalbezirk Weißruthenien.
This German man was viciously murdered in Minsk in 1943 after participation in the Holocaust, this provoking executions as well as reprisals on the perpetrators in Minsk.
An extreme antisemite and participant in numerous war crimes against Jewish people, he is known to have said about Jews: "What plague and syphilis are to humanity, are Jews to the white race." However, Kube behaved towards German Jews in a relatively mild way during his charge in Minsk, by trying—unsuccessfully—to protect German Jews, whom he felt as culturally closer, from extermination.
As for Minsk, he planned to level the city and replace it with a brand new Germanic settlement called Asgard.
