Information on Otto Geiger? [DAF]

Does anyone have information on Otto Geiger? In 1944 he put out "Der zeitlose Kampf um die Wahrheit", an anti-Semitic pamphlet. The German version is available here:

I'm doing a translation and would like to know more about the author. The 1941 party yearbook lists him as the head of the propaganda department of the DAF, but I haven't found much more about him.
