List of victims of National Socialist terror during the phase of conquest of power in 1933/1934

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following article provides an overview of the people murdered by the National Socialists during the initial phase of their rule. January 30, 1933, as the date of Hitler's appointment as Reich Chancellor, and June 30, 1934, as the day of the so-called Röhm Putsch , which are commonly used in research as the beginning and end of the “ seizure of power ” and consolidation by the Nazi regime, serve as temporal delimitation marks Regimes apply.

Basics

The total number of people murdered in this initial phase is controversial. The publicist Konrad Heiden , based on his evaluation of contemporary newspaper reports, came to the estimate in the 1930s that 220 people (196 opponents of the Nazis and 24 National Socialists) had been killed between January 31 and August 23, 1933. The historian Karl Dietrich Bracher estimated in his classic study The National Socialist Seizure of Power in 1960 the number of people killed by October 1933 at "500 to 600 dead in the whole of the Reich." Even Joachim Fest put the number of murdered during the first nine months of the existence of the Nazi regime people - "all the circumstances" - 1963 "500 to 600".

The number of "at least 500 to 600 murdered [n]" for the first months of the Nazi regime is also mentioned by the Hitler biographer Ian Kershaw in his biography of Hitler published in 1998. For the entire seventeen months from January 30, 1933 to June 30, 1934, the number of those murdered is likely to be between 800 and 1200. In the so-called Brown Book II , reference is made to a secret report from the police headquarters to the Prussian Ministry of the Interior, according to which 247 people died in “political clashes” in Berlin alone between the fire in the Reichstag and March 25, 1933.

Only people who can be proven to have been murdered by members of National Socialist formations such as the SA or SS or by state repressive organs such as the Secret State Police are included in the present list. Assumptions and the assumption of National Socialist motives are not enough.

The term "murdered" is used here in the colloquial sense and not in the formal legal sense, so that it includes all persons intentionally, approvingly or willfully put to death by the intentional external force, including those whose killing may be judicially manslaughter or similar would be classified.

This list so far includes 353 people by name or at least with relevant personal characteristics.

Classification of the murdered

The article divides the murdered into the following groups:

  • I. Victims of wild terrorist measures: people who were brought to death by the Sturmabteilung (SA) or other National Socialist divisions relatively arbitrarily due to their membership in generally undesirable groups (communists, social democrats, Jews, etc.). B. People who were stabbed to death (stabbed, shot, etc.) in the street or in their homes, people who died in SA basements, SA storm halls, SA quarters etc. as a result of willful abuse by them or who were deliberately killed there were, persons who were killed outside of prisons or concentration camps after their capture (in particular also shot “while fleeing”).
  • II. Victims of Fememorden : People who, for specific reasons, made themselves particularly unpopular with certain powerful Nazi personalities - or occasionally with lower-ranking people of lower rank - and were therefore killed in targeted "night and fog" actions.
  • III. People who were violently killed in concentration camps or prisons: people who were inmates of concentration camps or prisons by the guards there as a result of direct violence in the context of wild attacks by guards (or by external persons visiting the facility specifically for this purpose) were undertaken on their own initiative, were killed; or persons who - in contrast to regular executions as a result of court judgments - were deliberately killed “under the hand” in camouflage on orders “from above” in the course of unofficial killing operations (for example, they were killed, shot, hanged, etc. by guards) ); People who perished as a result of systematic or willful abuse by their guards or who "died" due to physical destruction (exhaustion, collapse in conditions of hard work).
  • IV. Victims of judicial murders: persons who have been officially sentenced to death by the courts and executed without their actions having justified execution according to the standards applicable in Germany until 1933 regarding the use of the death penalty . In general, this affects people who were executed on the basis of political offenses (opposition, decomposition, etc.) instead of - as was customary in the German Reich until 1933 - on the basis of criminal offenses (murder, rape, etc.) or who were executed on the basis of legally questionable laws and practices were sentenced to death and executed. An example of the latter is the Reichstag arsonist Marinus van der Lubbe , who was beheaded on January 10, 1934 for setting fire to the Reichstag building on February 27, 1933, although arson in February 1933 was not yet legally reinforced by the death penalty, which is usually considered one Violation of the basic rule of law Nulla poena sine lege applies.

People who died violently in concentration camps and prisons

In the period between February 1933 and June 30, 1934, more than 100 people were violently put to death in concentration camps. This was significantly more than the number of deaths in the course of “legal” executions due to official death sentences during the same period (cf. the section for 1933 in the list of people executed in the German Reich ). The percentage of political prisoners who fell victim to "wild" killing measures (targeted murder or unplanned, but approvingly accepted killing as part of abuse, etc.) in concentration camps and prisons was significantly higher than the total number of protective prisoners than the proportion of people put to death in the context of judicial executions in relation to the regular prisoners (detained for non-political, criminal reasons). During the seventeen months under consideration, tens of thousands of people were arrested for political reasons, with the highest number of people held in protective custody being reached in the weeks of the great wave of arrests following the fire in the Reichstag on February 28, 1933. Thereafter, there was a gradual decrease in the number of protective custody prisoners: at the end of July 1933 their number in the whole of the Reich was around 27,000, of which 15,000 were in Prussia. A larger number of these were released on the occasion of the Christmas amnesty of December 1933, but the number remained large enough that a larger number of concentration camps were still required to accommodate them. The ratio was roughly one killing (by judicially ordered execution) to 10,000 prisoners per month for regular (criminal) prisoners and one killing (by wild death) to 3,000 prisoners per month for (political) protective custody prisoners.

documentation

The corpses of numerous people who were violently killed during the National Socialist terror of 1933/1934 in Berlin and the surrounding area of ​​Berlin were brought to the morgue on Hannover'schen Strasse. The dates of these dead were recorded in the so-called "ledger" of the morgue, which recorded the deaths brought into the morgue. On this basis, historians such as Kurt Schilde have reconstructed the personal details and place and dates of death of a number of victims of the terror of these years, which otherwise have not been handed down or have only been handed down in a distorted way. Today the main books are kept in the university archive of the Humboldt University in Berlin.

For example, the following are recorded in the main ledger for 1933: Gustav Segebrecht (serial no. 380), Hermine Bix (serial no. 411), Siegbert Kindermann (serial no. 480), Alexis Hallervorden (serial no. 554), Schyze beginning (serial no.1620).
