1. ↑ after evaluation of 10 confiscated CVs of the NRW regional association of the Socialist Reich Party by the BVerfG (document 93 c).
2. ↑ statement loud Urk 93. c. Membership number 456. This is remarkable, because after the failed that day the NSDAP Hitler coup was banned in Germany and thus actually no award of membership numbers could have been possible. Furthermore, the numbers of the "old" NSDAP were only assigned from number 501 until the ban, in order to make the party appear larger. Another source gives membership number 22.175, issued in September 1925, which fits the context.
