Hans Landau

Hans Landau (born October 27, 1892 in Berlin , † after 1933) was a German medic.

Landau completed his habilitation in 1922 in the field of surgery. In 1928 he was appointed associate professor.

Shortly after the National Socialists came to power in the spring of 1933, Landau was withdrawn from his teaching license on the basis of Section 3 of the Law for the Restoration of Professional Civil Service , which, with very few exceptions, provided for the dismissal of Jews from civil service. He then emigrated to Great Britain, where he ran a private practice in London .

After his emigration, Landau was classified as an enemy of the state by the German police. In the spring of 1940 he was placed on the special wanted list by the Reich Security Main Office , a directory of persons who, in the event of a successful invasion and occupation of the British Isles by the German Wehrmacht, were to be located and arrested with special priority by the occupying forces following special SS units.
