Jann de Boer
Jann de Boer (born October 7, 1897 ) was district leader of the NSDAP in the area of the city of Emden .
Career
When the First World War broke out , de Boer left secondary school and volunteered as a war volunteer. At the end of 1915 he was deployed on the Western Front . After the end of the war in 1918, he went to Holstein as an apprentice to learn the trade of a farmer .
According to his own statements, he claims to have managed his father's farm for three years, before taking on the position of managing director of the Emden District Federation from 1923 . Early on, he turned to right-wing conservative and ethnic organizations . According to his statements, he became a member of the Stahlhelm in July 1923 . In January 1925 he joined the National Socialist Freedom Party in the Emden branch.
In 1931 he joined the NSDAP ( membership number 628.507). In September 1931 he also became a member of the SA . According to his résumé, he was sentenced to three months' imprisonment that same month for violating the "Law for the Maintenance of Law and Order". However, he claims to have only spent eight weeks in prison from the length of his imprisonment.
From January to September 1933 he held the post of district leader of the NSDAP in Emden . In July 1933 he was appointed Senator for the city of Emden. In September he had to return his office to the previous district leader Johann Menso Folkerts . Allegations by Folkerts about de Boer's earlier membership in a Masonic lodge seem to have played a role, as de Boer described in a letter to the Reich Treasurer of the NSDAP in 1937. On November 1, 1933, he was promoted to the SA storm leader in Oldenburg, where he rose to the position of staff leader of the SA Brigade 63 in Oldenburg- Friesland.
SA career and dismissal for Freemasonry
On March 19, 1934, the leader of the SA Brigade 63, Anton Bleeker , had given him an SA leader's assessment with excellent grades. De Boer only had to keep his distance from subordinates. The leader of the SA Group North Sea, Wilhelm Freiherr von Schorlemer , also agreed with Bleeker's assessment in a communication dated May 31, 1934 to SA Group VI in Hanover-Linden , although he had concerns about de Boer's earlier membership in the lodge.
A little later, de Boer was relieved of his position in the SA Brigade 63 because he was an active Freemason . The cause of this replacement was a spy report from the Secret State Police Office to the Supreme SA Leader in Berlin on April 13, 1934. It referred to the report of a Gestapo agent who had observed de Boer in the Johannisloge in Emden and of this event with a photo de Boers had forwarded to the responsible department. Boer is not only an active member of the lodge, but an upper brother.
Then de Boer became the chief of staff of the district farming community in Wesermünde and led the SA storm 12/411.
