Alfred Seidler

Alfred Seidler (born April 6, 1901 in Coburg ; † April 12, 1976 in Schacht-Audorf ) was a German politician ( NSDAP ) and SA leader.

Seidler attended elementary and middle school in Coburg and completed a commercial apprenticeship from 1915 to 1918 while also attending the commercial school. Until 1933 he worked as an accountant, calculator and buyer in various trading houses.

In 1920 Seidler joined the Deutschvölkischer Schutz- und Trutzbund . In 1922 he switched to the NSDAP and SA. He took part in the German Day in Coburg in 1922 , the SA's first public mass appearance outside of Munich, combined with violent clashes. In 1932 he received the NSDAP award Koburg Medal of Honor . After the NSDAP was temporarily banned as a result of the Hitler putsch , Seidler rejoined the party in 1925 ( membership number 1.572). Seidler held various party offices in the city and district of Coburg and was Gauhilfkassenobmann in the NSDAP Gau Bayerische Ostmark .

After the seizure of power by the National Socialists Seidler was employed by the city of Coburg. After the former mayor of Coburg, Franz Schwede , was appointed Gauleiter in Gau Pommern by Adolf Hitler in July 1934 , Swede took Seidler with him to Pomerania as a confidante. Seidler was treasurer of the region from 1934 to 1941. From February 1936 to January 1941 he was councilor in Stettin . He did military service from 1940 and was from July 1941 in the Prussian Provincial Council of Pomerania. From 1943 he was head of the Gau main office. Seidler was last promoted to Oberführer in the SA in April 1943 .

During the Second World War, on January 28, 1943, he replaced the deceased member of the National Socialist Reichstag, Walther von Corswant . Since the parliament of the 4th electoral term had already become completely inoperable at this point in time, the mandate had a purely symbolic and prestigious function and was not linked to any political decision-making power.
