Here is the translation of the text from Dutch to English:
Jozef Kindel was born on October 23, 1912 (some sources say November 23) in Cologne. He died in the detention center in Almelo in August 1948. He was a plumber by profession and was an employee of the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) during World War II, one of the German police organizations under the authority of Heinrich Himmler and the Reich Main Security Office in Berlin. The sergeant was involved in numerous executions and mass murders of resistance fighters and hostages. He participated in war crimes in Makkum, Anloo, and Norg. His workplace was at the Scholtenhuis in Groningen, a German police station. He was responsible for interrogations, which at the Scholtenhuis often amounted to torture, and he became notorious for his habit of setting his agitated German shepherd, Astrid, on prisoners. Kindel was also said to have assaulted female prisoners. Kindel never was convicted of his crimes. He died in prison in 1948 as a result of a brain hemorrhage.
