Life

After attending primary school in Stein am Kocher, he learned the brewing trade. Until 1916 he then worked in various breweries in southern Germany.

From 1916, Hitzler took part in the First World War, in which he was deployed on the Western Front . He was awarded the Iron Cross and the Baden Medal of Merit for his achievements as a combatant at the front .

In 1919, Hitzler was a member of the Maercker Freikorps . In 1920 he joined the Reichswehr .

From 1921 to 1925 he worked in an industrial company.

In March 1925, Hitzler joined the NSDAP and at the same time became an employee of the party in Plauen . In the same year he was appointed NSDAP district leader in the Saxon Vogtland . In this function he was responsible for the reorganization of the party.

Shortly after the National Socialists came to power , Hitzler was involved in the murder of the merchant Julius Brandeis, a Jew from Plauen, who had been kidnapped and shot by SS members, using his position to prevent this crime from being investigated.

In April 1933 Hitzler received a seat as a member of the Saxon state parliament , to which he belonged until the dissolution of this body in October of the same year. In November 1933 he was instead given a mandate for the now insignificant Reichstag, to which he belonged until the end of the Nazi regime in spring 1945.
