Heinrich Kersken (born November 21, 1894 in Orsoy , Moers district , † October 21, 1960 in Hilden , Düsseldorf-Mettmann district ) was a German politician ( NSDAP ) and SA leader.
Live and act
In his youth, Kersken attended elementary school and the rectorate school in Orsoy and the Adolfinum grammar school in Moers . From 1914 to 1918 he volunteered in the First World War, in which he fought on the western and eastern fronts. After the fall of the Bavarian Soviet Republic , Kersken founded the local academic group of the German National Guard and Defense Association at the University of Munich.
From 1919 to 1924 Kersken studied economics at the Universities of Göttingen and Munich . He joined the NSDAP as early as 1920 and was involved in the NS student union . From 1920 to 1924 he worked for the Völkischer Beobachter as well as for various student newspapers. In 1923 he took part in the failed Hitler putsch in Munich . From 1924 to 1929 Kersken earned his living as a merchant. From 1929 he became increasingly involved in the NSDAP.
He was instrumental in building up the SA's Niederrhein group and in October 1932 he achieved the rank of standard leader in this paramilitary Nazi organization.
From September 15, 1933, Kersken was a member of the staff of the Deputy Leader , where he acted as a national policy advisor. He was given leave of absence from this office in December 1935 as part of a party court case against him. The background was his criticism of the office operations at the StdF staff. He then returned to the SA and later became an officer in the Wehrmacht with the flak .
On November 12, 1933, Kersken became a member of the National Socialist Reichstag , to which he was a member until March 1936 as a representative of constituency 7 (Breslau).
