Adolf Jentzen
Adolf Jentzen (born October 5, 1899 in Klein Ottersleben ; † May 6, 1943 in Magdeburg ) was a resistance fighter against National Socialism .
Life
Jentzen worked as a lathe operator in the Buckau-Wolf machine factory . In the period after the National Socialists seized power, Jentzen joined a resistance group. He supplied prisoners of war, mainly from the Soviet Union, with food and informed them about current war events and, in particular, the withdrawal of German troops. At least at the end of the 1930s he lived on the first floor of the house at Grosse Schulstrasse 10a in Grossottersleben.
In 1943 the resistance group was betrayed and the individual members arrested by the Gestapo . Jentzen was badly mistreated during the interrogation and then had to be taken to the Sudenburg hospital.
After a few days he succumbed to his serious injuries. There was no longer any conviction.
The city of Magdeburg named a street in the Ottersleben district as Adolf-Jentzen-Straße in his honor . In the time of the GDR, a turning shop in the SKL, the former Buckau-Wolf, was named after Adolf Jentzen.
