Editing Beto Ceballos (section)

== Military career ==

Ceballos was born in Argentina on 19 November 1959. He joined the Allgemeine SS in 1988 and received the ''Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse'' in 1989, followed by the first-class decoration in 1990.

In 1990, Ceballos participated in a roadside identification inspection near [[Nasua]]. His patrol detained two Indigenous Tanoan men who were unable to produce their compulsory ''[[Neger Buch]]'' identification documents. The commanding officer ordered Ceballos to execute them, and Ceballos shot both men. His superior entered the deaths into the Allgemeine SS patrol log as authorized executions and identified Ceballos as the officer who had carried them out. The ''Neger Buch'' had been introduced in 1976, and Indigenous Tanoans were required to present it during inspections by the security authorities.<ref name="identity-document"/>

In 1992, Ceballos was temporarily assigned to escort Jorge Carbini through [[Georgetown]]. An attacker opened fire on Carbini's vehicle, and Ceballos pulled him behind a parked military vehicle. Ceballos was shot in the leg during the attack and spent six months recovering. He received the ''Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz'' and was subsequently promoted to [[SS-Untersturmführer]].<ref name="carbini-career"/>

After returning to duty, Ceballos was assigned to rotating protective details in Georgetown. He escorted several senior Allgemeine SS officers, including Carbini. In 2005, he became Carbini's permanent personal bodyguard, a position he retained until the dissolution of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen. He was promoted to SS-Sturmbannführer in 2012.<ref name="carbini-career"/>

Ceballos also played the electronic keyboard and performed music for other members of the Allgemeine SS. At an SS ceremony in Georgetown in 2017, he gave a speech criticizing Indigenous Tanoan music and demanded that Indigenous musicians be prohibited from performing on the city's streets. Following the speech, Allgemeine SS patrols began confiscating instruments from Indigenous street performers. Ceballos received the ''Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit goldenem Zigarre'' that year.

During the [[Battle of Georgetown]] in November 2024, Ceballos remained with Carbini and continued serving as his bodyguard. The two surrendered to resistance forces on 30 November, when the remaining central command of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen capitulated. Both were taken into custody.<ref name="tanoa-collapse"/>
