Biography of Julius Streicher

Born on February 12 in the village of Flainhausen, Upper Bavaria; The ninth child in the family of a teacher of Roman-Catholic primary school. He only knows about the young years that he was a teacher in a suburb of Nuremberg. Prior to the outbreak of World War I, Streicher served the year as a volunteer, but was expelled from the army for extreme non-discipline, and in his track record there was a ban on ever to serve in the German army.

But the 1st World War that began soon wrote off the previous sins of Streicher, especially since he proved himself to be a brave soldier, for which he received an iron cross of the II and I degree and the title of lieutenant. After the war, he again began to teach in Nuremberg, but unexpectedly dragged into political life on the side of the ultra -right nationalist forces.

In the year, he created his main brainchild, a weekly newspaper Sturmovik, in which, in a harsh form, he convicted and poured mud on the Jews, Bolsheviks and other enemies of Germany, who, in his opinion, are guilty of all the troubles and failures of the country. Streicher composed all sorts of fables about the Jews, supposedly they are engaged in cannibalism, bloodletting, sacrificing German children, etc.

In Munich, during a beer putsch in November, Streicher walked along with Hitler in the forefront. When the police blocked the Nazis to the Nazis, shots were blocked. There is an opinion that it was the Strayer who was the first to shoot. The answer was not long in coming - 16 demonstrators were killed. Hitler at the first volleys fell face down. Subsequently, he recalled: "On the day when he Streicher lay next to me on the pavement ...

I vowed that I would not leave him until he abandoned me." Hitler held his promise. He consistently helped Streigher climb the career ladder - in the year he became the Gauleiter of the United Franconia and was elected to the Bavarian parliament from the Nazi party, took a deputy place in the Reichstag in the year, and the next year he received the title of SS Groupenführer.

The Nazis themselves hated the small and bald editor of the Sturmovik. During the time in power, he managed to quarrel with Goering, Goebbels, Hess. The Minister of Economics Yalmar Minn openly despised him. Goebbels did not like the primitive, low -grade and vulgar newspaper Streicher, which struck him with his "boulevardium". He even forbade him to perform.

However, Hitler trusted Shtraikher and saw in him a talented and charismatic person. However, after Streicher insulted the daughter of Goering and called his deputy Jew, Goering persuaded Hitler to conduct a check against Streicher. During the audit, huge theft and monetary fraud were revealed. As a result, he was removed from all posts in the year. Only his newspaper remained behind him.

Until a year, he continued to be the editor and publisher of the Sturmovik, not a single fresh issue of which Adolf Hitler missed. A few weeks after the end of World War II, on May 23, Streicher was identified by the American military in Austrian Widding and was immediately arrested. At the Nuremberg process, he was charged with "public incitement to kills and extermination of Jews." In the indictment, it was said that propaganda was an instrument of “psychological preparation for political actions and military aggression” of the Nazis.

The main prosecutor from the USSR at the Nuremberg process, Roman Rudenko said: “Streicher can be considered a true“ spiritual father ”of those who torn in two children in Treblink. Without the “attack aircraft” and its owner, German fascism could not have been instructed so quickly to those massive frames of the killers who directly carried out the criminal plans of Hitler and his clique - the destruction of more than six million Jews of Europe.

” Streicher denied all the accusations against him: “The speeches and articles that I wrote meant to inform the public. I did not intend to campaign or incite, but to enlighten. ” In Nuremberg Streicher, who called the triumph, the “triumph of world Jewry” was subjected to psychiatric examination. Nothing but pathological anti -Semitism was revealed - the doctors recognized him as sane.

Nevertheless, on October 16, the editor of Sturmovik was hanged with other Nazi leaders in Nuremberg. He was the only one who was executed for printed propaganda, and not for real participation in the preparation and decision -making of the war and the destruction of people after bringing the sentence of Streichera, along with the bodies of other executed ones, and the ashes were secretly taken out and dispersed.
