Heinz Deinert

Heinz Deinert (born October 11, 1911 in Dortmund ; † October 26, 1990 in Baddeckestedt ) was a German functionary of the Nazi regime .

Life

Born in Dortmund, Heinz Deinert first attended grammar school in Plettenberg after primary school , then in Altena , and finally studied law at the University of Münster for just three semesters .

Before that, Deinert joined the NSDAP and the SA on April 1, 1928 at the age of 16 . In 1933, the year the Hitler Youth came to power , he became a spell leader in the Münsterland , and in September of the same year he was the area leader for the Ruhr - Lower Rhine region .

In 1935, Deinert married Charlotte Riebe in the town hall of Duisburg . “The Lord Mayor of the city of Duisburg, SS-Sturmbannführer Dillgardt , carried out the civil wedding. The witnesses were the Reich Youth Leader Baldur von Schirach and his deputy Hartmann Lauterbacher . "

The national newspaper of April 11, 1935 said:

“Like so many young National Socialists, so too did Heinz Deinert. Once seized by the idea of ​​National Socialism, he ruthlessly put his whole person at the disposal of the movement. As early as 1928, during his school days in the Sauerland, he had founded the National Socialist Student Union , of which he was the district leader (...). For a while, Heinz Deinert, who incidentally also wears the golden badge of honor , was the standard bearer of an SA storm . In Münster he was the spell leader of the Münster-Land spell until the then Obergebietsführer West, Hartmann Lauterbacher, appointed him as a special representative to his staff in Essen .

At the beginning of September 1933, Heinz Deinert took over the leadership of the Ruhr-Niederrhein area as Oberbannführer, in this position he was confirmed as area leader by the Reich Youth Leader Baldur von Schirach in March 1934. (...) The fact that the Hitler Youth of the Ruhr Niederrhein area has fought their struggle to this day by constantly pushing forward, and especially at this time, is in the process of gathering the rest of the young people who stand apart under their flags, is not least thanks to their area leader Heinz Deinert ... "

In his function as area leader, Deinert awarded the mayor of Krefeld , Aloys Heuyng , the “home building badge” on the occasion of the inauguration of a HJ home in the city around 1938 . In the same year Heinz Deinert became area leader in Silesia , area 4 ( Breslau ), while Corporal Käthe Zakrzowski (later Buschhausen ) was employed there for the Association of German Girls .

During the Second World War , Deinert first rose to the position of district manager of the Reichswerke Hermann Göring on January 1, 1941, and then moved to Hanover in the spring of 1944 - as district commissioner for the German housing aid agency and as deputy to the district housing commissioner . There he was given the office of NSDAP district leader at the end of March 1945.

When a French- Jewish forced laborer , Heinz Pichet , resisted his arrest in Gehrden in the spring of 1945 , he was arrested by district manager Heinz Deinert and “aggressively mistreated”. When Deinert and another pursuer, Karlheinz Scheu , recognized a weapon to be used at Pichet, Scheu first struck Pichet down with an aimed shot. Although Heinz Pichet was fatally wounded, Heinz Deinert fired more shots at the victim. These events are interpreted in such a way that, at a time when the collapse of the Third Reich was already recognizable, Deinert, as the eager leader of the Volkssturm , saw himself called to ensure a dubious order in Gehrden.

After 1945, Heinz Deinert was interned and sentenced to life imprisonment for murder in October 1948 . Nevertheless, Deinert was released from prison in January 1952. He died in Baddeckestedt in 1990.
