For the record, Ernst Kaltenbrunner wasn't just a "High-ranking Austrian SS official," he was Reinhard Heydrich's replacement as the head of the Reich Security Main Office, which included Sicherheitsdienst (SD), Geheimestattpolizei (Gestapo), and Kriminalpolizei (Kripo). In other words, he owned every civilian and military torture victim and murder by the Gestapo and Kripo across Europe from 1942 on.
A way too general description of Kaltenbrunner. He was in fact appointed chief of RSHA after Heydrich thus becoming head of the govermental office that had bore the main responsibility for the execution of Holocaust and other highly organized atrocities. He was simply in a class of his own among the accused.
As we all know, the winner is writing history. Operation Paperclip exempted numerous high ranked Nazis like Kurt Debus, Arthur Rudolph, Werner von Braun,... Operation Gladio, launched after WW2 used former SS officers to lead their units. Also project MK Ultra employed former Nazis for their horrible plans.

Governor general of the general government is a wild title..
Still crazy how Speer made it out there with life
This wouldn’t have happened if Saul Goodman was alive during that time.
Erich Reader and Donitz got the most unfair sentences. What a show trail!
Only the losers face trial.
Not surprised von Braun doesn’t even appear on the list. “Oh, you make rockets? Come be the director of our space program, and we won’t try you.”

When the group chat and lunch table transcripts get leaked
The verdicts were given before the trial even began
When the discord chat gets leaked

Oh! The Chairman of the Krupp AG was "medically unfit for trial"😂
