BabbaQ, as you asked on my talk page, I've had a look at the article, mainly I have tidied grammar and phrasing. I want to emphasise to you that I am not an expert on ANYTHING, especially not Nazi Germany, I edit on a few 'Nazi' pages, mainly as a 'tidier', rather than historian. I've put a few clarification needed tags, and tried to explain why inside them. If I was fairly sure I knew what you meant, I made the change. I've added some links, one I was unsure about was Sonderkommando, so you may want to check that. The article is short, but largely clear. Is this by chance the same person/unit that features in Shoah, if so, it might be worth a mention. Good work from what I can see, but you might want the opinion of someone more experienced in this topic area. … … ps you dont have an info-box, though I'm not sure which you should have, and you don't have a date of death.

The present lead "Despite being convicted, Laabs was given the lenient sentence of 15 years (subsequently reduced to 13 years) by a regional court in Landgericht Bonn, Germany.[4] Far from being outliers, such instances of leniency, extended to perpetrators of genocide and crimes against humanity during trials in post-Nazi Germany, constituted the norm, as evidenced by the fact that most of the perpetrators of Nazi war crimes and the Final Solution were not brought to justice. Many former SS officers and Nazis, who were directly responsible for perpetrating genocide and murdering countless innocent people, were contracted to work for US and British intelligence agencies as part of the war against the USSR and Communism (also see Operation Paperclip for more on post-WWII Allied collaboration with Nazis).[5]
Which was inserted here seems wildly off-topic and non-neutral (who says the sentence was lenient? What is the relevance of many Nazis getting off 'scot-free' to Laabs?]. This is borderline WP:Coatrack IMO. Additionally, the subject is not explored/developed in the body of the article, which is a requirement for any lead content.
