Karl-Heinz Boseck (born 11 Dec 1915)^[1]^: 39 was a German mathematician.

According to Segal (2003), Boseck was a fanatical National Socialist and a student leader.^[2]^: 323 He was an informer of the Gestapo^[3]^: 119^[4] since 1939.^[1]^: 39 In 1944, shortly after his diploma graduation he was made an Untersturmführer of the Nazi SS and established a department for numerical computation in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp^[3]^{: 118–120}^[4] He was exempted from war service due to a disease. He was an assistant of the German mathematician Alfred Klose^(de) at Berlin University, and had great influence in the faculty during WWII.^[2]^: 323 At the first mathematicians camp 1–3 July 1938 in the youth hostel of Ützdorf^(de) near Bernau, he lectured "On the development of student science work".^[5]^{: 123–124} He was department chairman for natural science at Berlin University, and had great influence on Ludwig Bieberbach who was leader of the "seminar" (may be institute); with course of time even more power shifted from Bieberbach to Boseck.^[6]^[7]^: 153

Department for numerical computation in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp

On 25 Mai 1944, Heinrich Himmler instructed Oswald Pohl to establish a scientific research office in a concentration camp to exploit the expert knowledge of imprisoned mathematicians, physicians, chemicists, and other scientists for the time-comsuming and humanly stressful ("menschenbeanspruchend") evaluation of formulas, preparation of individual constructions, and also, however, for basic research. ^[8]^: 319 ^[9]^: 660 ^[2]^: 322 ^[10]^: 364 Himmler assigned the overall responsibility to Pohl, and the scientific management to Walther Wüst, assisted by Wolfram Sievers.^[8]^: 319

On 19 Aug 1944, SS-Hauptsturmführer H.J. Fischer (RSHA)^[14] selected Dachau prisoners for scientific assignment.^[9]^: 661^[10]^: 364 In Nov 1944, Boseck selected another 14 prisoners from Dachau.^[9]^{: 661–662}

On 28 Dec 1944, Boseck reported to Himmler that the the mathematical department had started working in December with seven prisoners, reinforced after 8 Dec by another eleven Buchenwald prisoners which were released prematurely from quarantine.^[8]^: 322
