Machine translation, like DeepLorGoogle Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

Johannes 'Hans' Steinbrenner (16 October 1905 - 12 June 1964) was a German concentration camp overseer. Born in Frankfurt am Main, he is most notable for his participation in the murder of several prisoners during the early phases of Dachau concentration camp. In April 1945, Steinbrenner was arrested by the US Army as head of the administration of an SS. In 1948, he was charged with murder, albeit the prosecution was delayed for several years. In 1952, Steinbrenner was found guilty of two counts of murder and nine counts of serious bodily harm, and sentenced to life in prison. A codefendant, Johann Unterhuber, was sentenced to six years in prison on lesser charges.[1]
Steinbrenner served his sentence at Landsberg Prison. He was released from prison in 1962, and hanged himself two years later.[2]
