Frank, Hans (1900–46), Hitler's legal adviser who was made Bavarian minister of justice when Hitler came to power in January 1933, and minister without portfolio in 1934. After the Polish campaign of September 1939, when Poland was divided between Germany and the USSR, Frank was appointed to rule the rump, the General Government (see Poland, 2(b)). He declared it would be treated like a colony, and that its people would be ‘slaves of the Greater German Empire’. The initial lengths to which he went to accomplish this brought protests from a few German Wehrmacht officers. They were ignored, and in the following years Frank imposed on the Poles the most brutal and degrading consequences of Nazi ideology: the Final Solution, Lebensborn, and forced labour. He pleaded guilty at the Nuremberg trials, and was sentenced to death and hanged.
