Hermann Liese

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann Liese (born March 22, 1907 in Spandau , † August 10, 1972 in Hanover ) was chief editor of the main cultural office of the Reich Propaganda Office .

The banker Liese married Edith Rosenkranz (1909–1973) from Hilchenbach in 1933, the daughter of Karl Julius Rosenkranz and Lydia Martha von Scheven. The couple had two daughters.

He became an employee in the main cultural office of the Reich Propaganda Headquarters and, at the end of 1936, head of the celebration and leisure activities at the NS Ordensburg Vogelsang in the Eifel, where he kept a guest book. In 1941, Joseph Goebbels brought him to head the office for festivities, leisure time and celebrations at the cultural office of the Reich Propaganda Office in Berlin.

From October 1944, immediately after the Putten case , he was Reichsamtsleiter in the Netherlands, responsible for the forced recruitment of Dutch workers. The Liese campaign turned out to be a failure: when he promised perks for employment in recruitment on Christmas Eve, this sparked discord and the government in exile called for resistance.

After the war he worked as a textile merchant under his other first name "Willi H." instead of his first name "Hermann".
