Johann-Georg Richert (14 April 1890 – 30 January 1946) was a German general during World War II.

He commanded the 286th Security Division whose personnel committed numerous war crimes in occupied Belarus, in the Army Group Center Rear Area.

[1] Richert also ordered that all of his soldiers who were in hospitals without injuries or a diagnosed illness be executed, and threatened units and commanding officers who were defeated in battle with severe penalties.

Dieter Pohl has called the establishment of the camp "one of the worst crimes the Wehrmacht ever committed against civilians".

[3][4] By the time troops of the 65th Army of the First Belorussian Front liberated those in camps on 19 March 1944, at least 9000 people had died.
