Max Schulze (SA member)
Max Karl Schulze (born October 21, 1900 in Gaildorf ; † July 1-2, 1934 in Lichtenburg concentration camp ) was a German SA leader. He became known as one of the victims of the so-called Röhm Putsch .
Live and act
Schulze had worked in the Sturmabteilung (SA), the party army of the NSDAP , from the mid-1920s . By 1933 he had achieved the rank of standard leader. At that time he was the leader of SA Standard 26 in Magdeburg .
In the spring of 1933 Schulze excelled at the events surrounding the National Socialist “ seizure of power ” in Magdeburg : On March 22, 1933, the SA Standard 26 under Schulze's leadership occupied Magdeburg's town hall in a wild action. On this occasion, the SA called Schulze as acting mayor of Magdeburg. Schulze's "mayor's championship", which had already been announced in the daily newspapers, only lasted just under a day: on March 23, 1933, Fritz-August Wilhelm Markmann was able to assert himself as the new mayor.
In the course of 1933 Schulze was promoted to SA Oberführer.
On June 30, 1934, Schulze was arrested in the course of the National Socialists' political cleansing action of June 30, 1934, known as the Röhm Putsch: He was deported to the Lichtenburg concentration camp and shot there by the SS on July 1 or 2, 1934 .
