Willy Gaertner was a leading Nazi lawyer in Silesia and candidate for the Reichstag. He was born in 1899 and died in 1942. Does anyone know the circumstances of his death? Thank you in advance.

There should be an obituary in Schlesische Tageszeitung or other local Breslau newspaper.

Hans, yes, I have read the German Wikipedia entry on Gaertner. Thanks for pointing out the alternative spellings of his name.
