Josef Malzer (born January 5, 1902 in Amberg , † October 10, 1954 in Munich ) was a German politician (NSDAP).

Live and act

After attending elementary school and a humanistic grammar school, Malzer worked for municipalities and savings banks. Since 1923, according to the Reichstag handbook, he was active “as a writer” and in the publishing industry; however, any writings by Malzer cannot be found.

In 1926, Malzer joined the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) and the Sturmabteilung (SA). Before 1931 he acted as adjutant of the Munich SA Standard I. Then Malzer, who had been a standard leader for the SA since 1931, held the post of Chief of Staff of the Gausturm Munich-Upper Bavaria until 1932.

In the Reichstag election of July 1932 , Malzer was elected to the Reichstag of the Weimar Republic for the NSDAP , in which he sat for the following four months as a member of constituency 31 (Württemberg). In the November 1932 election , Malzer was one of the numerous NSDAP MPs who were unable to maintain their mandate and left the Reichstag. After four months of abstinence from the German parliament, Malzer was able to return to the Reichstag for the election of March 1933 , to which he belonged from then on without interruption until the end of the Nazi regime in May 1945. During these twelve years it was confirmed three times by "elections" ( November 1933 , March 1936 , May 1938 ). One of the major parliamentary events in which Malzer was involved during his time as a member of parliament was the vote on the Enabling Act in March 1933.

After the National Socialist “ seizure of power ”, Malzer led SA subgroup 85 “Upper Bavaria” from September 1933, SA Brigade 84 “Chiemgau” from October 1935 and SA Brigade 82 in Amberg from June 1943. SA brigade leader since January 1934 , Malzer resigned from the church in 1936.
