Rolf Günther (8 January 1913 – August 1945) was a German functionary who served in the ''Schutzstaffel'' (SS) as an ''Sturmbannführer'' and who acted as deputy to Adolf Eichmann. He first joined the ''Sturmabteilung'' (SA) in 1929 and became dedicated to the Nazi cause.

Günther was responsible for the deportation of Jews from Salonika to Auschwitz concentration camp, with assistance from Alois Brunner. His brother Hans Günther was head of the Central Office for Jewish Emigration in Prague.

Günther committed suicide by poison in August 1945 while being held by the Americans in an Ebensee prison, however Adolf Eichmann believed him to have definitely survived the war and made his way to an unknown location overseas. Provided by Wikipedia
