from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Camillo Friede (born September 2, 1902 , † April 14, 1945 in Celle ) was a German communist resistance fighter against National Socialism and a victim of fascism .

Life

After attending elementary school, Friede learned the profession of upholsterer . Then he went on the " Walz " and did not return to Hamburg until 1927 . As a result of his extensive wanderings through different countries, he spoke five foreign languages and was both politically and spiritually interested. He joined the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) and was active against the emerging National Socialism . He was sent to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp . According to another piece of information, he was interned in the Esterwegen concentration camp. Between 1937 and 1939, a number of long-term prisoners were released from the concentration camp, including Camillo Friede.

Friede then resumed his activity in the resistance and came into contact with the resistance group " Bästlein-Jacob-Abshagen ". He took part in their activities that were directed against warfare and solidarity with foreign forced laborers . Bästlein sought special contact with Camillo Friede in order to win him over to work in the information service of the KPD because of his language skills. When the Gestapo unmasked the Bästlein group, Friede was also among the inmates. He was brought to justice and sentenced to a prison sentence, which he served in the prison of Celle-Mühlhausen . When the Allies approached the city in April 1945 , the prisoners were evacuated to the Bützow-Dreibergen prison . Camillo Friede found death in the process.
