Karl Delobelle (born March 3, 1904 in Rieschweiler , † June 5, 1944 in Italy ) was a German National Socialist . Delobelle was regarded as a "loyal fellow campaigner" of Gauleiter Josef Bürckel .

Life

Delobelle grew up in Rieschweiler, where he attended elementary school and the humanistic grammar school. He then did two internships at the municipal estate administration in Speyer and Kirschbacherhof . Then he began a commercial apprenticeship. On February 13, 1924, he joined the SA and one year later the NSDAP ( membership number 9.829). He worked in the commercial sector until 1929, after which he was elected to the Speyer city council, where he became chairman of the NSDAP parliamentary group.

From 1933 to 1935 he was commissioned by the Supreme SA leadership as city ​​commissioner and district commissioner for Speyer. In 1934 he was appointed SA Standartenführer . From April to August 1935 he was also interim district leader of Germersheim .

After the beginning of the Second World War he was drafted into the Wehrmacht in 1939 and was stationed as a reserve lieutenant in Italy, where he died on June 5, 1944.

In 1946 he was posthumously of crimes against humanity and arson accused, as he during the November pogroms in 1938 on the arson of Speyer Synagogue was allegedly involved. The case was later dropped.

As chairman of the tourist association, Delobelle also played a leading role in founding the association of Baden-Palatinate carnival associations. Delobelle, who was seen as a “harassment” and a radical anti-Semite , also used the club for anti-Semitic jokes. A few months after the Reichskristallnacht, “a replica of the Neustadt synagogue was pulled through the city”, with the carnivalists “dressed up as the Nazis caricatured the Jews. "
