Life and work

After completing elementary school and attending grammar school, Schwecht joined the Prussian Army in 1906 , first became a flagjunker and, from 1908, was a lieutenant in foot artillery regiment No. 3 in Mainz . From 1914 to 1918 he took part in the First World War as a soldier . During the war he was used as a regimental adjutant, battery leader and group leader. In 1915 he was appointed first lieutenant and in 1917 captain. Most recently he was a staff officer of the heavy artillery at the high command of the Army Group Duke Albrecht von Württemberg .

Political party

During the Weimar Republic , Schwecht belonged to the DNVP. After 1945 he joined the DKP-DRP . Schwecht participated in the negotiations of the DKP-DRP with the German Party and the Hessian National Democratic Party on July 1, 1949 about a joint election to the 1949 Bundestag election for his party together with Wilhelm Jaeger , Eldor Borck , Leonhard Schlueter , Lothar Steuer and Adolf von Thadden part. Although the plans had advanced quite far, they ultimately failed. The reason was the declaration by the British military government that a merger party would not receive a license and would therefore not be able to run for election.
