Siegfried Kasche (18 June 1903 – 7 June 1947) was a German Nazi Party politician who served as the ambassador of Nazi Germany to the Independent State of Croatia where he was complicit in the atrocities committed against Serbs, Jews and other ethnic groups. He was also an SA-Obergruppenführer in the Sturmabteilung (SA), a Nazi paramilitary organization. He headed the SA agricultural settlement program to replace native populations in the occupied Polish territories with SA settlers. Kasche was proposed as the head of the Reichskommissariat Moskowien but, due to German military reversals, the Reichskommissariat was never established. Following the end of the Second World War, he was put on trial in Croatia, convicted of war crimes and hanged.
