After the Second World War, Wiczonke and three other former SA functionaries were tried in a US military court for attempting to set up a National Socialist underground organization called the German Peace and Freedom Movement and sentenced to 18 years in prison. The aim of this organization was to take power in Germany in the event that a conflict broke out between the Western and Eastern powers. Your program was based on the 25-point program of the NSDAP . Wiczonke and his comrades were blown after the founding files of their organization were found in a house search.
