Life

Johannes Peltret was the son of the factory owner Emil Peltret. After completing his Abitur in Frankfurt (Oder) in 1908, he entered the Kaiser Wilhelm Academy for military medical education at the end of March 1908 . After completing his studies and receiving his license to practice medicine on May 4, 1914 with the grade “very good”, he took part in the First World War. He received the Iron Cross and the Cross of Honor for Frontline Fighters . After the end of the war, he was promoted to Dr. med. doctorate and promoted to medical officer. He then continued to work as a military doctor, as he was promoted to senior staff doctor in 1928. In the Weimar RepublicHis main research areas were exercise physiology, bacteriology and hygiene. From 1926 he belonged to the German Society for Racial Hygiene .

At the beginning of the National Socialist era , he was employed as a senior medical officer in the Reichswehr in Stettin . He wrote u. a. anti-Semitic articles for medical journals. At the beginning of June 1935, Peltret became a trainer and deputy head of the newly opened driving school of the German Medical Association in Alt Rehse and was given leave of absence from the Reichswehr with the rank of senior doctor for this activity. His inaugural lecture at the leadership school, "The Doctor as a Guide and Educator", emphasized the primacy of the national community over the individual and the obligation to maintain hereditary health in the sense of Nazi health policy . Peltret's training courses were based on the Nazi ideological model that the doctor in the Nazi state functions as an ideological teacher and educator. In addition to lectures on "leadership and leadership tasks of the German doctor", "The National Socialist Weltanschauung" and "The doctor as an educator", he also gave lectures on "Military medical service", "Combat gas chemistry and army medical services" and "Medical tactics" and "Gas protection".

By the Reichsärzteführer Gerhard Wagner he was appointed to the Reichsärztekammer in 1936 , where he worked until December 1940. Peltret became a member of the National Socialist German Medical Association in April 1936 and of the National Socialist German Workers' Party in early May 1937 (membership number 5.018.336). In addition, he belonged to the National Socialist Welfare Association and the NS-Altherrenbund .

After the invasion of Poland , war missions followed from October 27, 1939 to December 18, 1939 and May 18, 1940 to June 25, 1940. Peltret was awarded the Iron Cross 2nd Class (November 1939) and the Iron Cross 1st Class (July 1940) excellent.

In December 1940 Peltret took over the position of the slain head of the driving school of the German medical association Hans Deuschl on the instructions of the Reichsärzteführer Leonardo Conti . He remained in this position until at least 1943. In mid-December 1941, Peltret was accepted into the Schutzstaffel as SS-Standartenführer (SS No. 459.461). After the war ended in 1945 he lived in Bad Salzuflen .
