Gerhard Arthur Puff (c. 1914 - August 21, 1954) was an American gangster, executed by the federal authorities in New York for killing a federal agent. A native of Dresden, Germany, on June 6, 1927, the thirteen-year-old Puff, along with his mother and five-year-old brother arrived at Ellis Island on board SS Columbus from Bremen. The family moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he became a naturalized citizen in 1934, but by 1940, he was an inmate in the Wisconsin State Prison in Waupun, Wisconsin.
