from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dieter von Glahn (* 1923 in Stolp / Pomerania ) is a German social pedagogue, psychologist and local politician, and became known as one of the best-known leaders of the Association of German Youth .

Life

Dieter von Glahn grew up in Stolp and volunteered for the Wehrmacht . He took an active part in the Second World War and was taken prisoner by the Soviets as an officer. He returned from captivity in 1946 and fled with his family to the West, where he initially settled in Oldenburg . In his denazification process in October 1947, von Glahn was classified as "unencumbered".

Political activity

Parties

In 1948 von Glahn became involved in local politics, joined the Free Democratic Party (FDP) and became district chairman of the German Young Democrats . He resigned from the FDP in 1955 because it “became too left-wing liberal” for him. In addition, von Glahn was an exposed member of the board of the "Association of East Expellees and Refugees" founded in Oldenburg in 1948.

In 1956 von Glahn became a member of the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU). He left the CDU in May 1989 because it was “no longer a conservative people's party” and became a member of the Republicans (REP) for nine months . He temporarily acted as the press spokesman for the Republicans in Hanover and resigned from the party in 1990 on the grounds that it was "incapable of politics". 

In the Association of German Youth

In 1950 von Glahn was recruited for the “Bund Deutscher Jugend” (BDJ), a right-wing extremist association with a strictly anti-communist orientation, and completed several four-week “ partisan courses ”. After that, Glahn became the central leadership figure of the BDJ or its “Bund Deutscher Jugend | Technisches Dienst” (TD) in Northern Germany. In the association financed by the CIA , he built up secret service structures and camps that were to become militarily effective if the Red Army marched into the country. Furthermore, von Glahn, as head of the Oldenburg / Bremen division, created a "liquidation list" in which around 200 prominent social democrats and communists were listed, including Erich Ollenhauer and Heinrich Zinnkann . In early 1953, the BDJ and the Technical Service were banned as unconstitutional . Proceedings against von Glahn were discontinued in August 1955 by then Attorney General Carlo Wiechmann .
