Live and act
Dorsch served in the first years of the First World War in the Dragoon Regiment "King Albert of Saxony" (East Prussian) No. 10 . Most recently he was a lieutenant and was awarded both Iron Crosses . He studied law at the Albertus University in Königsberg and became active in the Corps Baltia Königsberg in 1920 . He broke off his studies without a degree and from 1922 worked as a practical farmer on the Neu Trempen estate in the Darkehmen district . There he became involved in the East Prussian Home Guard in 1920 . From 1922 to 1925 he was inStahlhelm, Bund der Frontsoldaten active. He later managed the Redden manor near Domnau .
After he had belonged to the German National People's Party until 1927 , he became a member of the NSDAP on September 1, 1929 ( membership number 168.217). He joined the Sturmabteilung (SA) on September 1, 1930. In it he was promoted to Standartenführer in October 1930 and to Oberführer in October 1933 . He reached his highest rank in 1938 when he was promoted to SA Brigade Leader.
After the NSDAP won the Reichstag elections in March 1933 , Dorsch took over the leadership of SA Brigade 5 in Elbing , which he retained until 1936. Also from 1933 he officiated as police chief in Elbing. In this position he distinguished himself by assaulting Jews . In the bitter disputes over his corps in 1933/34, he was the spearhead of the National Socialists who wanted to bring the corps onto the party line. His opponents were the senior Hans-Wolfram Knaak and the old man's chairman Kurt Tornier . Dorsch put the tape down on December 25, 1933, but resumed it on January 29, 1934. In a widely recognized process, the Koenigsberg Regional Court found that this was a legal impossibility.
During the Second World War , Dorsch was police chief in Königsberg from 1942 to 1944 . At the same time he was entrusted with the establishment and management of the police headquarters and the leadership of the SA in occupied Białystok . During the battle for Königsberg he stayed in the city, although he could have escaped like his teacher Erich Koch . Nothing is known about the time and circumstances of his death. He is not listed in the 1960 Kösener corps lists.
“Among other things, there was a popular tale that a fairy had predicted Hitler that he would have followers who were convinced, reliable and also clever. However, he must note that only two of these properties can be coupled at a time. The classification of cod in this order was easy. He had served the King of Prussia faithfully during the war. He was also considered a reliable comrade in arms. However, he was less endowed with spiritual gifts. He could not distinguish between subtleties, so that he lacked the tact to find the right way as a guide in his approach. He stayed in the Königsberg Fortress in 1945, although like many of the political upper class at the time, he had the opportunity to save himself. "
