Walther Seidler

Walther Seidler (* 24 February 1897 in Kassel , † 15. January 1951 ) was a German farmer , NSDAP - politicians and SA -Leader.

First World War

Seidler took part in the First World War as a soldier at the front and was decorated with a number of awards. At the end of the war he had the military rank of lieutenant. In 1920 he said goodbye to the military and became a farmer in Landershausen near Schenklengsfeld.

NSDAP activity

On February 24, 1925 Seidler founded the NSDAP local group Schenklengsfeld with like-minded people , and he became its leader ( membership number 11,869). With their help, a local group was formed in Hersfeld on February 1, 1930.

One of the many “forerunners” of the National Socialists was the “ Bund Oberland ”. Julius Seiler (1902–1938), who came from Middle Franconia, founded and led the Oberland Bund in Hesse before he joined the NSDAP in 1929. A local NSDAP group already existed in 1922 in the "Landecker Land" (Schenklengsfeld and the surrounding area). After the failed Hitler putsch in 1923, it was banned, but re-established under a different name (including the Schützen- und Wanderbund), but with the same content.

In 1927 Seidler became SA Storm Leader. From August 1930 he was an agricultural district consultant in the district of Kurhessen . From 1933 to 1945 Seidler was the regional farmer's leader in the Electorate of Hesse and a member of the Reichsbauernrat, as well as the district manager of the district office for agricultural policy.

Member of the Reichstag and member of the SS

With the Reichstag election in 1930 Seidler became the first Reichstag member of the NSDAP from Kurhessen. His mandate was also confirmed by voters in the two subsequent elections to the Reichstag in 1932. Even in the four “election” periods of the “ Third Reich ” he remained a member of the now insignificant Reichstag for constituency 19 Hessen-Nassau .

In 1936 he moved from the SA to the SS (membership number 276.581) and was promoted to SS-Oberführer on September 10, 1939 .
