Life
Hermann Sietmann was a soldier in the First World War . In 1919 he joined the SPD . Professionally, he was initially employed by the German Agricultural Workers' Association in Westhavelland . He then began further training and from 1923 he was a candidate for the service of the police . Although he cracked down on communists and social democrats with great severity from 1933 onwards, he was a member of several resistance groups, including the Red Shock Troop and the German Christian Church Movement . He also kept in contact with the Reich Banner Group around Theodor Haubach and Karl Heinrich . In 1934 he was dismissed from the police force for political reasons.
In Tetschen-Bodenbach he was arrested on a courier trip for the Red Shock Troop. In April 1940 he was sentenced to one and a half years in prison for violating the treachery law , which he served in Berlin-Tegel . This did not stop him from continuing to resist.

In 1944 he was drafted and fought in World War II . After the end of the Third Reich he was again a police officer, but died on June 10, 1947.
