August Fleck

August Ferdinand Fleck (born December 29, 1885 in Fulda , † May 3, 1978 in Hamburg ) was a German officer , banker and national politician.

Life

After finishing high school, Fleck joined the Prussian Army in 1905 as a flag junior . With the outbreak of the First World War he was a lieutenant in the 8th company of the infantry regiment "Duke Friedrich Wilhelm von Braunschweig" (East Frisian) No. 78 . In the course of the war he was first promoted to lieutenant and on June 6, 1916 to captain and wounded several times.

After the November Revolution, Fleck worked as a banker and did private studies in the fields of history and economics. In Altona he became a city councilor. It is very likely that Fleck was Captain a. D. of the same name, in which detailed coup plans were found in early 1923 on the occasion of a raid; the topic was also the subject of a debate in the Hamburg parliament on June 27, 1923 . On May 4, 1924 , he was elected to the Reichstag , where he represented the National Socialist Freedom Party (NSFP) until December of that year. In the NSFP parliamentary group, Fleck, who had stood as a candidate in the Reich election proposal, identified himself as a supporter of the German National Freedom Party (DVFP). When listing the candidates, DVFP leader Albrecht von Graefe Fleck referred to the North German National Socialists as one of their co-thinkers.

Around 1930 Fleck was state chairman of the People's Rights Party in Schleswig-Holstein. In the Reichstag election in 1930 , the NSDAP rejected a list connection with the People's Rights Party in Schleswig-Holstein; Flecks “disloyalty” to the National Socialists in 1924 is named as a possible reason.

From 1939 to 1945 Fleck was in the Wehrmacht , most recently as Major zV. His applications for reactivation in 1935 and 1939 had been rejected with reference to his earlier work in a Masonic lodge .

After the war, Fleck acted as administrator of the party fund of the Hamburg rights , a small Hamburg party that invoked the tradition of the DNVP and in the summer of 1946 together with the Hamburg regional association of the DAP to the DKP, as the DKP-DRP then called itself in Hamburg , merged.
