Carl Heck

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Ernst Robert Heck (also Karl Heck ) (born June 23, 1907 in Berlin ; † after 1981) was a German member of the Sturmabteilung (SA), most recently in the rank of SA brigade leader .

Carl Heck was the middle of three sons of a police lieutenant in Berlin. His older brother was Johannes Heck (1903–1987), who became known for his involvement in the euthanasia mission during the Second World War.

In the 1930s, Heck led SA Standard 8 in Berlin. After the National Socialists came to power, Heck u. a. by participating in looting on what u. a. The world stage reported.

In the wake of the Nazi government's political cleansing operation in the summer of 1934 (the so-called Röhm Putsch ), in the course of which around 90 people were killed, Heck was also one of the victims abroad on various occasions as one of the victims of the murder from June 30 to July 2, 1934 reported, apparently in error.

Heck achieved his highest rank in the SA on January 30, 1939, when he was promoted from Oberführer of Brigade 108 to SA Brigade Leader.

Heck's last public appearance was in 1981 in the BBC documentary Hitler's Night of the Hummingbird (directed and presented by Hugh Carlton Greene ), in which he was interviewed as a witness.
