Andreas Borst

Andreas Borst Kersis (1901-1957) was a Brunanter politician and head of the Autonomous Government under Nazi rule.

Early life
Borst came from a upper-class christian family from Drenthe. His father was Greek but he was raised by his mother. In 1929, while in Koningstad teaching at the RUK, he joined Cristian Everard's National Socialist Front. Borst was fired from his job at the university for inciting hatred and violence. He would become a heavy opponent to the liberal education system.

Political career
In 1935 he was elected into Congress as an independent, though he still had large ties to the NSF. Borst was not re-elected and he made a vow to "crush democracy to a pulp". When Germany invaded Brunant, Borst became a zealous Nazi collaborator, working with the SS and German troops to stamp out resistance. He had no remorse for attacking his own people and was thusly rewarded with the post of War Secretary in the Everard Government. He allowed the creation of the National Security Force, to fight along German soldiers against the Allies and the resistance movement. On September 8, 1943 he was made the Minister-President of the Autonomous Brunanter Government when Everard was assassinated. He quickly set about with reprisals against the people and allowed NSF troops to employ brutal force. Later that year he passed laws sending "volunteers" were to work to German factories, many of who would not return to Brunant until 1946 (or not at all).

Later life
On July 12, 1944 US troops captured Borst outside Nieuw Helmond. He was imprisoned at the local jail until the 20th, when he was transferred to Grisberg Prison in Koningstad. In a speedy court trial, he was sentenced to life imprisonment. He would remain incarcerated until March 1957, when he was taken out of his cell and shot to death. No official inquiry was started, leading many to believe the government was behind the act.
