Ernst Adolf Girzick (17 October 1911 – 4 March 1977) was an Austrian SS-Obersturmführer and an employee in Referat IV B4 of the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA).

Following his release, Girzick moved to Germany and joined the Austrian Legion in the SS camp at Ranis.

[3] In November 1946, Girzick was arrested by Austrian gendarmeries in Köstendorf for failing to register himself as a former member of the Nazi Party.

On 3 September 1948, Girzick was found guilty of crimes against human dignity and sentenced to 15 years in prison.

In the 1950s, the Austrian government started granting mass clemency to Nazi war criminals as a way to attract ex-Nazi voters.

In view of the approaching Christmas season, I would like to enclose a list of former National Socialists imprisoned in the Stein Prison for political offenses.

On 18 December 1953, President Theodor Körner granted Girzick clemency, allowing him to serve the remainder of his sentence on probation.
