Eduard Nicka (politician, 1911)
Eduard Nicka (born October 27, 1911 in Unterschützen , Burgenland , † July 22, 1972 ) was an initially National Socialist politician who later belonged to the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ).
Live and act
Eduard Nicka attended the Protestant grammar school in Oberschützen and then began an apprenticeship as a miller . In 1933 he joined the NSDAP , from 1935 he was the illegal district leader of Oberwart . Nicka promoted the registration of Roma by the National Socialist racist Karl Moravek . From 1938 to 1945 Nicka exercised this function legally - with interruptions due to his voluntary front service in the Waffen SS . In 1944/45 he was jointly responsible for the building of the Reich Defense Force . Nicka was subordinate to the Oberwart- Fürstenfeld section , which in turn was divided into several subsections, in which the 1945 Rechnitz and Deutsch Schützen massacres occurred.
On October 1, 1948, Nicka was sentenced by a people's court in Vienna to three years in heavy prison and financial collapse. He had only been charged with those offenses for which the public prosecutor could assume a certain verifiability - namely because of illegality and his function as district leader of Oberwart. It was a so-called formal offense , in which the court did not have to prove any concrete acts in his capacity as a member of the illegal NSDAP, only the fact that he had committed the party between the entry into force of its ban on July 1, 1933 and the invasion of the German Wehrmacht in Austria on March 12, 1938. In December 1948, however, Nicka was pardoned and released from custody by resolution of the Federal President . In 1956 he was also reimbursed for the assets declared forfeited in the verdict.
From January 5 to August 31, 1958 Nicka was regional party leader of the FPÖ Burgenland.
