Rolf from the bush

Rolf vom Busch (born October 12, 1905 in Remscheid , † July 6, 1971 in Vienna ) was a German bellhop . He was convicted of the murder of the prostitute Kurt Schöning. A process for another murder of Helmut Daube from Gladbeck may have been why not make it because he 1936 in another, classified as secret process that the former leader and Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler was concerned, because treason was convicted.

Since he had been castrated for the murder of Kurt Schöning to reduce the risk of relapse , Rolf vom Busch apparently wanted to take revenge on leading men of the National Socialist regime, as they had ordered emasculation as a punishment for moral offenses.

He stated Chief Ernst Roehm of the Scout Movement to know, as Lieutenant General Edmund Heines and SA -Gruppenführer Karl Ernst in Berlin . Röhm had taken him to the Führer Adolf Hitler in the Hotel Kaiserhof in Berlin . He claimed to be able to describe the guide's genitals to prove his credibility. He also claimed to have letters from Ernst Röhm.

Rolf von Busch said about his convictions that he, like those accused by him, was nationally minded, but wanted to take revenge for his emasculation.

Rolf vom Busch was sentenced on the basis of these statements by the 3rd Senate of the People's Court in the session of August 4, 1936 under the judge Senate President Eduard Springmann for treason to two years in prison and three years of loss of honor . The reasoning for the verdict stated that his statements could have degraded the leader's reputation abroad . The credibility of the statements was not assessed.
