Hermann Behme (born March 10, 1900 in Schönebeck (Elbe) , † May 27, 1969 in Lich ) was a German politician and member of the Reichstag for the NSDAP .

Life

Behme attended secondary school in Bad Salzelmen near Magdeburg from 1906 to 1914 . In April 1914 he began an apprenticeship as an electrical engineer in Schönebeck, while still working as a conscript in ammunition factories. After he had finished his apprenticeship in March 1917, he joined the Imperial Navy on June 1 of that year . He belonged to the 1st torpedo division. By August he completed basic military training and on August 1st he started as a machine candidate. From October 1917 until the following January, he took part as a stoker of a torpedo boat in the operation in which the Estonian island of Ösel was occupied. After he continued to be a stoker on various torpedo boats until January 1919, after the end of the war he worked as a chief fitter in Rostock until 1924 and then as an electrician in Wismar until 1932 . In April 1932 he was dismissed because of his membership in the NSDAP.

Behme belonged to the German National Freedom Movement (DVFB) from 1925 to 1927 and joined the NSDAP (membership number 183.081) and the SA in November 1929 at the same time . As SA Standard Leader , Behme led SA Standard 89 in Wismar since October 1931. From November 1931 to 1933 he was a city councilor in Wismar and on August 10, 1932, he transferred from the SA to the SS , where he was employed as a full-time SS-Standartenführer and took over command of SS-Standarte 22. He took on this task until September 19, 1934. On November 25, 1934 he was appointed SS-Oberführer .

Since June 5, 1932, he was a member of the state parliament of the Free State of Mecklenburg-Schwerin and at the same time the Reichstag . Behme was a member of the Reichstag until April 1938 , initially for constituency 35 Mecklenburg, from March 1936 for constituency 8 (Liegnitz). Until 1938 he was also in charge of various SS sections, most recently with the rank of SS Oberführer.

On January 24, 1938, Behme was demoted to SS man by Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler for embezzlement and expelled from the SS. He then worked as an electrician in Wismar. On October 10, 1938, party court proceedings were opened, at the end of which he was expelled from the NSDAP on December 17, 1938 by a decision of the 1st Chamber of the Supreme Party Court . On May 11, 1939, another criminal complaint was brought against him because he was accused of continuing to embezzle donations totaling 1,650 Reichsmarks . After he was drafted into the Wehrmacht at the beginning of the war , this procedure was discontinued, as his sentence would presumably not have been more than six months in prison and he was already serving in the war. After the end of the Second World War he continued to live in Wismar.
