Life

Friedrich Tscharmann was the son of the lawyer Joseph Julius Tscharmann and his wife Johanne Wilhelmine Bertha, née Hardegen. The architect Heinrich Tscharmann was his brother. After attending the König-Albert-Gymnasium in Leipzig , which he left with the Abitur in 1891, he joined the 1st Field Artillery Regiment No. 12 of the Saxon Army in Dresden as a flag junior . He then belonged to the First World War, various field artillery regiments and was in the meantime the Military Riding Institute Hannover and the Military Riding Institute drafted Dresden. Tscharmann had advanced to captain by 1905 .

During the First World War Tscharmann - major since September 1914 - was initially a department commander before he was appointed commander of his regular regiment in 1917, which he led at the front and led home at the end of the war. On April 1, 1919 Tscharmann was released from military service as a lieutenant colonel at his own request.

Tscharmann then settled down as a farmer in Mecklenburg . In 1930 he joined the NSDAP and the SA . In the latter, he served as staff leader of the SA sub-group Mecklenburg for two years. In December 1932 Tscharmann resigned from the SA and the NSDAP after a special report to the personnel office. He probably did not rejoin the NSDAP.

Around 1933 Tscharmann became a member of the SS (membership number 266.455), in which he quickly made a career: around 1937, Heinrich Himmler appointed Tscharmann as a defense officer of the SS and on January 30, 1939 appointed him SS-Oberführer . Between January 1941 and July 1944 Tscharmann worked in Amt VI of the General SS Office and from 1943 in the SS Command Office, from April 1, 1943 as SS Brigadefuhrer and Major General of the Waffen SS.

Tscharmann was selected as one of 23 honorary members of the People's Court as early as 1934 .
