Live and act

After attending the primary school in Mühlheim an der Eis and the Progymnasium in Grünstadt , Martin completed a commercial apprenticeship. In 1908 he joined the imperial army , to which he was to belong for almost twelve years until 1920. From 1918 he was auxiliary paymaster . During the First World War , from which he returned home as a severely disabled person, Martin was awarded the Iron Cross II. Class and the Bavarian Military Merit Cross II. Class with cross and swords .

From 1920 Martin worked as a civil servant in pension offices , most recently in Munich. From 1925 Martin, who was married twice, attended the Munich Administration Academy for six semesters. In 1926 he was promoted to senior administrative secretary.

In December 1920 Martin became a member of the Deutschvölkischer Schutz- und Trutzbund . According to his own statements, he had been working for the NSDAP since May 1921 . After the NSDAP ban was lifted, he rejoined the party ( membership number 23,046) on October 24, 1925. In 1926, Martin was an assessor in the party's investigative and arbitration committee (USchlA). In the fall of 1930 he became deputy head and staff chief of the National Socialist War Victims Care (NSKOV) in the party organization of the Reich leadership of the NSDAP.

In the Reichstag election in November 1932 , Martin was elected to the Reichstag on his party's Reich election proposal. The failure to stand as a candidate in the Reichstag elections in March 1933 and the accusation of incompetence were reasons for Martin to apply for UschlA proceedings to be initiated against himself. He ran for the Reichstag elections in 1936 and 1938 without receiving a seat.

From April 1933 Martin was a consultant in the Reich Ministry of Labor ; He quickly lost his position there as NSKOV's liaison officer after a falling out with Hanns Oberlindober . In August 1933 he was taken over by the staff of the Deputy Leader and became the NSDAP's confidante and liaison officer for personnel issues in the Ministry of Labor. In January 1934, Martin joined the Reich Association of German Civil Servants (RDB), where he worked as a Reich clerk for two RDB student councils. In September 1934, Martin became the Reich Commissioner of Labor for the Reich Association of General Local Health Insurance Funds. In the same year he became a Reich speaker for the NSDAP.

On March 16, 1936, Martin joined the SS (SS No. 276.213) with the rank of Hauptsturmführer . On October 30, 1936, Berlin's deputy Gauleiter Artur Görlitzer initiated a party court case with the aim of excluding Martin from the party. In addition, in February 1937, SS disciplinary proceedings were initiated for behavior that was harmful to the party. Both proceedings were discontinued in the summer of 1937. In the SS, Martin achieved the rank of standard leader in November 1938 . In the previous month, Martin had been seconded to the Sudeten German areas, where he was supposed to set up a labor administration department.

In November 1941, on Martin's orders, Margot Blankenburg was moved out of her apartment in Mommsenstrasse. 17 distributed in Berlin; she was later deported to Auschwitz on the 31st transport on March 1, 1943 .

From September 1943 Martin was employed as a ministerial advisor at the Audit Office of the German Reich in Potsdam.
