Paul Holthoff
Paul Holthoff (born January 26, 1897 in Filehne , West Prussia, † December 6, 1967 in Wunstorf ) was a German politician ( NSDAP ).
Live and act
After attending a high school, Paul Holthoff took part in the First World War with an MG unit . After that he was probably a member of the Weichkhmann and Libow Freikorps .
Little is known about his professional development from 1919 to 1932; according to Jan Erik Schulte's findings, he did not have any educational training, which would have been obvious in view of his later occupation .
In April 1931 Holthoff joined the SA and in May 1931 the NSDAP. In the period before 1933 Holthoff led SA Brigade 60 in Uelzen near Hanover and SA Brigade 61 in Hanover. On September 1, 1937, he took over the management of the National Political Education Institute (NAPOLA) in Bensberg , which he retained after the institution was moved from Bensberg to Hardehausen in East Westphalia on November 2, 1944, and until it was effectively closed at the end of March 1945. In this context he was jointly responsible for the use of concentration camp prisoners as forced laborers for construction work and similar work on the premises of his NAPOLA. At the beginning of August 1945 he was interned by the occupying forces.
After the seizure of power in 1933 he was a member of the provincial parliament of the province of Hanover until the parliament was dissolved . From November 1933 until the end of Nazi rule in spring 1945, Holthoff was a member of the National Socialist Reichstag , in which he successively elected constituencies 15 (East Hanover, 1933–1936), 6 (Pomerania, 1936–1938) and 20 (Cologne-Aachen , 1938-1945).
