Dietrich Klagges
A man forgotten by history
Philmil,
was about to ask the forum aboyt bio on the man when I found that you had already done that.
here's what I have on him, but perhaps there is a photo and more extensive info on him somewhere.
The first Nazi to seize power in a state, Braunschweig. Using his powers as Minister-President with HQ in Brunswick, he enabled Hitler, an Austrian citizen, to participate in German politics and run for presidency against Hindenburg by conferring German citizenship on him. A rival of Himmler. In the summer of 1933 arraigned the SD before the Supreme Party Court for having intrigued against him. Himmler had to hoist the white flag and Klagge, who was not an SS man, was made a SS-Gruppenführer.
Ministerpresident; Minister of the Interior, of Finance and of Education, in Braunschweig. SS-Obergruppenführer.
Dietrich Klagges died 12 Nov 1971 Bundheim / Germany.
