The Reichstags-Handbuch "Der Großdeutsche Reichstag 1938 (Wp.IV)" shows that Franz Hanke was promoted SA-Brigadeführer April 1937. Other posts on this forum indicate that eventually became SA-Gruppenführer before leaving the SA in Jan.1941. Has anyone any information on the date of this promotion? Thank you.

Re: Was Franz Hanke SA-Gruppenführer?
Hi Fred,
Fanz Hanke - his last SA-rank was Brigadefüher (promoted from Standarführer to Brigadeführer (directly) with effect from 12.03.1938 (See Führerbefehl No. 63,- contains only Group Austria, dated 01.06.1938)
Hanke was due to an order of the Chief of Staff of the SA, Viktor Lutze (because toleration of a slush fund in the SA economy ring and willfully making false statements about his perquisites as CEO and plant manager at the Vienna Piano Factory Hofmann & Czerny, AG) and relieved of his rank as SA-.Brigadeführer and his service position as (full-time) leader of the Brigade 93 (Lower Danube south) and dismissal from the full-SA-employment at his own request with effect from 31.01.1941 excreted from the SA
(See Führerbefehl No 76 of 15.4.1941, under SA leaders Corps / group Danube - here page 8).
Best,
Manfred
