Daniel Seizinger (born July 9, 1887 in Mannheim , † September 15, 1942 in Stuttgart ) was a German communist resistance fighter against the Nazi state .

Life

Daniel Seizinger came from a Mannheim family. After completing his school education, he trained as a radio fitter . He worked in Karl Buchardt's radio shop on the Luzenberg . After the First World War he resigned from the SPD . During the Weimar Republic , he joined the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) because he saw in it the strength to prevent the emergence of National Socialism . In April 1933 he was taken into " protective custody ". After he was released a year later, in June 1934 he was sentenced by a court to a prison term of one and a half years for possession of leaflets and “preparing for high treason ” . During the Second World War he joined the resistance organization around Georg Lechleiter , in which numerous opponents of the Nazis - non-party, communists and social democrats - produced and distributed information and campaigns against the warfare of the Nazi regime. Because he trusted his employer Burchardt, he had given him a copy of the newspaper “Der Vorbote”, which he passed on to the Reich Security Main Office . This is why Seizinger was one of the 19 executed people who were sentenced to death by the People's Court in 1942. Seizinger was the Regional Court of Stuttgart with the guillotine executed.
