Hans Schemm Signed Photo
9-1/2 x 7-1/4 inch, large Hans Schemm signed photo with cardboard backing. Hans Schemm was SA-Gruppenführer and Gauleiter of Gau Bayerische Ostmark as well as appointed provisional Culture Minister and ‘Leader of Cultural and Educational Affairs in Bavaria’, appointed by Hitler in April of 1933. In 1935 he was seriously injured in a plane crash and died before the famous Berlin Professor Ferdinand Sauerbruch (Hitler personally ordered Sauerbruch to fly to Bayreuth) could help. His successor as Gauleiter became Fritz Wächtler. The Nazis posthumously honored Schemm as a publicist and educator by naming multiple schools, streets and halls after him. A very collectable Third Reich artifact with an authentic dedication and signature of a NSDAP Gauleiter and the Nazi official who, together with Dr. Goebbels, was in charge to determine what German children were taught in school (i.e. anti-Semitism), at least until 1935.
