Life
The trained miller entered the army in 1896 . In 1904 he resigned from the army because of service damage. Then he was a municipal official in Munich. Ulrich Graf, a freelance butcher by trade, became a member of the German Workers' Party after the First World War , to which Hitler also belonged. Graf was also one of the founding members of the SA . In 1921 he joined the NSDAP (No. 2,882). From 1921 he was a constant companion and personal bodyguard of Adolf Hitler . During the Hitler-Ludendorff putsch , when the march of the putschists in Munich at the Feldherrnhalle was stopped by the Bavarian State Police on November 9, 1923 , he faced Hitler, was seriously injured and has been his lifesaver ever since. In recognition of this, he received the Order of Blood with the award number 21 in 1933 .
In December 1924 he was elected to the Munich City Council, to which he belonged from January 1, 1925. In the same year he joined the now banned and newly founded NSDAP ( membership number 8), as well as the SS (SS number 26). In the city council, to which he was re-elected in 1929, he appeared as a backbencher . The mandate was, above all, a recognition award for previous services. From the end of 1925 he was an assessor in the party arbitration tribunal of the NSDAP . From 1935 he was councilor of the city of Munich. In 1936 Graf became a member of the Reichstag . In 1943 he had the rank of SS brigade leader in the SS . In 1948 he was sentenced to five years in a labor camp.
