Life

First Lieutenant (later Captain ) Ernest F. Hauser was the eldest son of the university professor Ernst Hauser (1896–1956) and his first wife, Susanne geb. Devrient, a daughter of the castle actor Max Devrient . His mother died just six months after his birth on December 17, 1920 in Vienna under unexplained circumstances. Since Professor Ernst Hauser was of Jewish origin, the family emigrated to America in the 1930s. After the Second World War , Ernest F. Hauser was stationed in Schongau . He had known Franz Josef Strauss since his time as a district administrator in the Schongau district . When Strauss was Minister of Defense , he wrote to the Lockheed CEO, Robert E. Gross Hauser, to represent him. From 1961 to 1964 Hauser was a representative for Lockheed in Europe. Strauss was the best man at Hauser's wedding in 1948 and was the godfather of Hauser's child Ernest Alfred Franz Josef in 1963 . Strauss stated that there was no friendship with the American. In 1961 or 1962, Lockheed deposited $ 1 million into Fred C. Meuser's account. According to his own information, he did not pass it on to Bernhard zur Lippe-Biesterfeld . After his release from Lockheed in 1964, he suffered a heart attack. In 1972, Hauser was sentenced to one year in prison with probation by the Bonn regional court for breach of trust and forgery of documents . Hauser had lived in the USA since 1972 . The magazine Stern reported in December 1975 on a sworn testimony by Hauser, before the Senate subcommittee, chaired by Frank Church, on the acquisition of Lockheed, that in the early 1960s in connection with the Lockheed F-104 procurement for the German Armed Forces, at least ten million United States dollar bribe had flowed to the CSU , and handed over his diary from that time with corresponding entries.
