Hans Krebs (26 April 1888 - 15 February 1947) was a Moravian Nazi Party member and SS-Brigadeführer from Czechoslovakia.
Hans Krebs was born in the ancient town Jihlava in Moravia when it was part of the Habsburg Empire and was involved in the German nationalistic movements from his youth. In 1911 he became the manager of the German Workers' Party (Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) in Vienna.
After the outbreak of World War I Krebs volunteered to serve in the Austro-Hungarian Army. He fought in the South Tyrol, received several awards and rose to the rank of lieutenant. After the war Krebs became involved in the National Socialist German Workers' Party (DNSAP) in the new Czechoslovakia and became the editor of the Iglauer Volkswehr newspaper. Iglau had become the second largest German-speaking enclave (Sprachinsel) inside Czechoslovakia and there was great political dissatisfaction among the Germans in Czechoslovakia.
Krebs was apparently in contact with Adolf Hitler and was also a member of the Czech Parliament several times. In 1933 he was stripped of his parliamentary immunity and imprisoned. Krebs then fled to Nazi Germany, where he became a member of the SS and rose to the rank of SS-Brigadeführer. In the mid 1930s he wrote two books arguing the Sudeten German case : Kampf in Böhmen (Berlin, 1936) and Wir Sudetendeutsche (Berlin, 1937).
Having joined the nationalist movement early, he along with Rudolf Jung and Hans Knirsch was one of the few original Moravian National Socialists to remain in the party after 1933. During the Sudeten Crisis, Himmler and the SS favoured Krebs over Konrad Henlein, and tried to play them off against one another to some degree. Krebs returned to Moravia in 1939 and participated in the harsh persecution of political opponents of the Nazi regime. He was formally appointed Oberregierungsrat im Reichsinnenministerium (chief executive officer in the Reich Ministry of the Interior) and apparently held this post during World War II.
After the war Krebs was executed by the Czechoslovak government in Prague in 1947.
