Nuremberg Defendants: Part 5, Wilhelm Frick - Reich Minister of the Interior

This is the next part of my Nuremberg Defendants series. Click the names below to see previous parts + the post I already made on Rudolf Hess

Rudolf Hess

Alfred Rosenberg

Joachim von Ribbentrop

Baldur von Schirach

Julius Streicher

-Wilhelm Frick was born on the 12th of March in 1877. He was the youngest of four children of Wilhelm Frick Snr, who was a Protestant teacher. He was born in Alsenz.

-He graduated from the Kaiserslautern Gymnasium in 1896, and went on to study Philology at the University of Munich. Early on he would change his studies to Law and transferred to the University of Berlin. In 1901 he received his doctorate in law and from 1903 he started working as an attorney at the Munich Police Department.

-Frick married his first wife, Elisabetha Emilie Nagel in 1910. Their marriage produced two sons and a daughter before ending in an ugly divorce in 1934. He remarried a few weeks later to Margarete Schutze Naumberg (the former wife of a Reichstag MP). Their marriage produced a son and a daughter and lasted until Frick's death.

-Frick did not serve in WW1 because he was deemed unfit. After the war he was put in charge of the political police as a district officer. In his role he had sympathies for the far-right extremists. On one occasion, Frick helped a Freikorps member, who had committed murder, to escape by issuing him a false passport.

-Frick was introduced to Hitler in 1919 by the Chief of Police, Ernst Pöhner. He willingly helped Hitler obtain permission to hold rallies and demonstrations.

-In 1923 he became a senior officer and head of the security service of the Munich Criminal Investigation Department. Frick later participated in the 1923 Munich Putsch. Had the Putsch succeeded, Frick was to become the new police chief. During the Putsch he remained in the police headquarters and ensured that the state police and the representative of the police president were not alerted immediately. After the Putsch, Frick was arrested and tried for aiding and abetting high treason. After several months in police custody, Frick was given a suspended sentence of 15 months imprisonment and was dismissed from his police job. During the disciplinary proceedings the dismissal was revoked after being declared unfair on the basis that his treasonous intent had not been proven.

-Frick was elected as a member of the Reichstag in 1924. He had been nominated by the National Socialist Freedom Movement. His speeches in the Reichstag were characterised by his radical anti-semitism and racism, as well as abuse and insults at his political opponents. He officially joined the NSDAP in 1925 after the ban on the party was lifted.

-In 1929 the NSDAP joined in a coalition government for the state of Thüringia. The party received the state ministries of the interior and education. In January 1930 Frick was appointed to these ministries - becoming the first Nazi to hold a ministerial post at any level in Germany. Frick used his position to dismiss communist and social democratic officials and replace them with NSDAP members. As minister he also used his power to make Hitler a German citizen (or else he could not stand for Reich Presidency in Germany). He also used his power to appoint Nazi race theoretician, Dr Günther, as professor at the University of Jena as well as the compulsory introduction of Nazi prayers in schools. Due to the character of these prayers, three out of the five introduced were declared unconstitutional by the German Constitutional Court in July 1930. Frick was removed from his office in April 1931 after a motion of no confidence by the SPD.

-In 1933 Frick was made Minister of the Interior, shortly after Hitler's appointment as Chancellor. Along with Göring, Frick was one of the two Nazi ministers in the original Hitler cabinet and the only one to serve with a portfolio (Göring originally served without one). In October that same year he was appointed a Reichsleiter (the second highest political rank in the party). In 1934 he replaced Göring as Prussian Minister of the Interior thus giving him control of the police in Prussia.

-As a result of the Reichstag Fire Decree 1933 and the Enabling Act 1933, Frick's power increased tremendously. These acts would pave the way for dictatorship by abolishing numerous constitutional protections (including the right to free speech and freedom of the press).

-Frick was responsible for drafting up numerous laws to consolidate the Nazi regime. For example the 14th July 1933 Law Against the Formation of Parties - making the NSDAP the only legal party in Germany. Frick was also responsible for drawing up anti-semitic laws such as the law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service. The law forbade Jews, political opponents and non-Aryans from holding positions as teachers, judges or government positions. He also drafted the Reich Citizenship Law and the Law for the Protection of German Blood and German Honour. (These became known as the Nuremberg Laws).

-In July 1933 Frick implemented the Law for the Prevention of Hereditary Diseased Offspring, which included forced sterilisations. This would later lead to the T4 exterminations. During the Second World War Frick was made aware that mentally disabled, sick and aged people (which the Nazis deemed as “the useless eaters”) were being put to death, but did nothing to intervene. An estimated 200,000+ (under Frick's jurisdiction) were systematically murdered.

-Frick took an active role in Germany's rearmament, in opposition to the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. He drafted laws introducing military conscription and extending the Wehrmacht service law to the annexed Austria (after the Anschluss in 1938) and to the Sudetenland. He introduced German law, the Nuremberg laws and the military service law to Austria. He further established the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.

-Frick's power began to decline around the late 1930s during a power struggle with Himmler, who wanted control of the German police force. In one example of the struggle for power, Frick tried to restrict the widespread use of protective custody laws in 1933, only to be convinced not to by Himmler. In 1936 Hitler named Himmler the chief of German police which effectively united the police with Himmler's SS. In August 1943 Himmler replaced Frick as Minister of the Interior. Frick however remained in Hitler's cabinet as a minister without portfolio.

-After being replaced as Minister of the Interior, Frick was appointed the Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia, making him Hitler's representative in the Czech lands. This role was merely a representative one and Frick had no real power. Instead the power lay with his superior Karl Hermann Frank. However, Frick did take a general responsibility of the oppression in Bohemia and Moravia, for example terrorism of the population; slave labour and the deportation of Jews to concentration camps. Of the 82,309 Jews deported from the protectorate, around 71,000 were killed in the Holocaust. The occupation authorities and their collaborators killed another 7,000.

-Frick was indicted at the Nuremberg Trials on all four counts. Frick was the only other defendant besides Rudolf Hess who refused to testify on his own behalf. Frick was absolutely certain that he would be sentenced to death, therefore he chose not to bother, however he did state “Hitler didn't want to do things my way. I wanted things to be dine legally. After all, I am a lawyer.” He was found to have an IQ of 124 (just about below average of the other defendants). As a prisoner, a former guard described him as someone who was always willing to talk.

-At Nuremberg he was described as one of the architects of the Holocaust. From 1933 onwards he used his power to fulfil the threats he made to his opponents in the Reichstag in 1932: “Don't worry, when we are in power we shall put all of you guys in concentration camps.” Frick's ministry was the highest controlling authority of the concentration camps and Frick personally inspected them. Frick also took an interest into the experimentation on prisoners inside the camps, such as forcing malaria onto heathy prisoners and the air pressure and freezing experiments.

-Frick was unrepentant in his final statement and was found innocent on count 1 of the indictment, but was found guilty on the other three charges brought against him. He was sentenced to death by hanging.

-Frick was executed on the 16th of October 1946, aged 69. It is believed that the executions were deliberately botched so that the convicted Nazis suffered ling and agonising deaths. One of these botchings included the size of the gallows trap door, which was too small, thus leading to some defendants (including Frick) to hit their heads as they dropped, making them suffer head injuries (and this is quite evident in Frick's post-execution photo, which can be found on wikipedia). On his way to the gallows he seemed the least steady of any of the condemned and stumbled on the gallows steps. His last words were “Long live eternal Germany.” He died 12 minutes after the initial drop.

Excerpt from an interview between Kostyantyn Grechany (a journalist at The Ukrainian Review) and Maria Mezentseva (Ukrainian MP).

K.G.: Recently, I had an interview with a soldier from a National Guard of ours who was captured in Azovstal and spent over a year and a half in captivity. Most of the time was spent in Horlivka on the territory of the so-called “DPR.” There were beatings and moral pressure, but he could somehow survive. Just before the exchange in January of this year, they were transferred to a camp in Taganrog. He said that in Taganrog, in one week, he suffered more than in a year and a half in Horlivka, and he couldn’t understand how the other guys lasted the entire time since the beginning of their captivity, as there was a complete set of tortures. I understand that this is just one case, and we shouldn’t make global conclusions based on it, but where I’m going with this: apart from centralised communication with the enemy, is there any separate dialogue about prisoners of war with the self-proclaimed republics? M.M.: As far as I know, they are not the decision-makers in this process. They are the executors of torture within the genocidal policies of the Russian Federation imposed according to a manual. For example, we found out that there is a clear motive behind the raping of women and children (including boys): to discourage, pardon the bluntness, the desire to reproduce and give birth to more Ukrainians. In other words, rape was ordered as a policy. We try to comment on this from a human perspective, but there is nothing human about it. I was in Kupyansk. They turned the district police department into a torture chamber. I can’t even describe in words the methods and ways I saw there.

A mass brawl between believers of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP) and representatives of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine at St. Michael's Cathedral in the city of Cherkasy on Oct. 17 resulted in 20 reported injuries, National Police said the following morning.

No victims were hospitalized, and police are in the process of identifying those involved in the fight.

Prior to the brawl, representatives of the UOC-MP and Metropolitan Theodosius locked themselves inside the cathedral, which was transferred to the UOC on Oct. 17, refusing entry to others. A video of the fight was posted online.

The police opened a criminal investigation under Part 4 of Article 296 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine on hooliganism.

On Aug. 24, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a law banning the UOC-MP.

Man you're going to LOVE this one. A co worker of mine had a customer who did not agree with our policies and so they asked to speak to a manager and then have the manager DIRECTLY transfer the customer to a member of parliament who was currently at Parliament house to lodge a complaint about the polices. They were told no because we DON'T have a direct line to parliament but the customer still demanded it and even when the manager told them that we didn't have that direct line and still argued with the manager. There is no issue with contacting your local MP, you can do that but just can't transfer you to parliament.

That seems like a completely reasonable request!

Mayor Dark (Mrs. Dark) here,

I heard commotions going on at Horrorland? Lucy-Dear said the Horrors were chasing her friends and there seems to be a “Menace” running rampant? I need details on what happened so that we can resolve this.

[TRANSFERRING TO PRIVATE CHANNEL...]

Mayor Dark, so good to hear from you. We ourselves are still piecing together the details of what exactly is happening, although right now our claws are full. Between our dwindling staff and the monster channel trying to run programs that make us look even slightly in control, you can see why organization has been such a tall task. You, as a mayor, must understand the immense pressure we at horrorland— or, rather, we the few trying to keep this place from collapsing— are under.

With that said, this is what myself and our new chief of police have gathered; amidst the juvenile attack on horrorland, something else has resurfaced, a creature we are becoming less and less sure we know the origin of. Additionally, there may be other parties assisting the creature, one which calls themselves "the butcher." Anyone who has learned anything about these creatures has promptly gone missing, first Jerry, then several MPs, the social media guy, that Keith boy- hell, they may have taken down the very owner of this park. Additionally, the intruders formerly known as the special guests have dissapeared too.

There's something deeply wrong here, Mayor Dark. It's too early to call it, but we may need assistance.

[ad_1] GG News Bureau Mumbai, 4th Nov. Two weeks ahead of Maharashtra’s Assembly elections, the Election Commission has ordered the transfer of the state’s Director General of Police (DGP), Rashmi Shukla, amidst allegations of bias towards the ruling Mahayuti alliance. Sources indicate that the Commission’s decision follows claims from the Opposition, particularly the Congress, asserting that Shukla’s presence in her current role could compromise the fairness of the electoral process. The poll body directed Chief Secretary Sujata Saunik to immediately transfer Ms. Shukla’s responsibilities to the next seniormost IPS officer and to submit a panel of three names by tomorrow for the appointment of a new state police chief. Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar had previously emphasized the importance of impartiality and non-partisanship during election-related meetings, urging officials to conduct their duties in a manner perceived as fair. Opposition parties, including Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT), have consistently accused Ms. Shukla of exhibiting bias. Sanjay Raut, a Rajya Sabha MP and leader of Shiv Sena (UBT), voiced strong allegations against Ms. Shukla, stating, “There are very serious allegations against the state’s Director General of Police. In 2019, during the formation of our government, she was directly working for the Bharatiya Janata Party, tapping all our phones and providing information to Devendra Fadnavis about our plans.” Raut questioned the possibility of conducting fair elections under her leadership, adding, “We have expressed concerns that the reins of elections should not be handed to her. While the Election Commission claims it does not have the authority to transfer her, we question how this is permissible, especially when Jharkhand’s DGP was replaced.” State Congress chief Nana Patole has also called for Ms. Shukla’s removal, writing to the Chief Election Commissioner to express concerns over her “clear bias” against opposition parties. In his letter, Patole noted a surge in political violence against opposition factions over the past few weeks, suggesting a deteriorating law and order situation under Shukla’s oversight. “She has shown a clear bias against the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP(SP), as evidenced by her previous record of illegal phone tapping of opposition leaders while serving as Commissioner of Police in Pune and at the State Intelligence Department,” he stated. Vijay Wadettiwar, the Leader of the Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly, welcomed the decision to transfer Shukla, stating that it revealed the coalition government’s dishonesty. “What was the compulsion of the alliance government to extend the term of a police officer facing serious charges? This extension aimed to ensure that the assembly elections in Maharashtra are not conducted transparently,” he said in a post on X. Rashmi Shukla, an IPS officer of the 1988 batch, is noted for being the first woman to serve as Maharashtra’s police chief, having previously held the position of Director General of the Sashastra Seema Bal. Maharashtra’s 288 Assembly seats are scheduled to vote on November 20, with the counting of votes taking place on November 23.

Opposition Democratic Party MPs in Albania have asked the country’s Contitutional Court to rule against the Protocol signed between Albania and Italy under which Albania would host refugees rescued at sea by Italy and built a reception centre and a camp for them while their claims are assessed.

They want the deal declared “incompatible with the constitution” before seeking “prohibition of its ratification by the Assembly”.

They demand “suspension of the procedures for the ratification of the Protocol between the Government of [Italy] and the Council of Ministers …of Albania, ‘On Strengthening Cooperation in the Field of Migration'”.

The opposition MPs say the agreement was made without the authorization of the President, without being published in the Official Gazette, without consultation with the UN, and say it is against human rights.

“This Protocol constitutes one of the most flagrant cases of violation of a set of rights and freedoms guaranteed by the constitution and international law,” they said.

According to Albanian law, the Constitutional Court can review cases if “no less than one-fifth of MPs” submit a request for it to do so. In this case, the 28 Democratic Party MPs, out of 140 MPs in total, meet the criteria.

On Wednesday, the Parliamentary Commission for Security was due to discuss the agreement, but the meeting was held amid tensions between opposition and government MPs.

The agreement has been opposed both in Italy and Albania. One of the biggest criticisms is related to Albania’s capacity to host up to 3,000 migrants a month.

According to the protocol, a reception centre for migrants will be built inside the Port of Shengjin, in the Lezha area of northern Albania, which will process the migrants rescued at sea by Italy.

A second site, a refugee camp, will be built in Gjader, a village where a former military air base was built in the 1970s during the Communist era.

“Italy will use the port of Shengjin and the Gjader area to establish, at its own expense, two entry and temporary reception facilities for immigrants rescued at sea, capable of accommodating up to 3,000 people, or 39,000 a year, to expedite the processing of asylum applications or potential repatriation”, the text of the protocol notes, adding that jurisdiction over the centres will be Italian.

“In Shengjin, Italy will handle disembarkation and identification procedures and establish a first reception and screening centre; in Gjader, it will create a model Cpr facility for subsequent procedures. Albania will collaborate with its police forces, for security and surveillance,” it adds.

Activists and human rights lawyers in both countries have questioned Albania’s ability to handle the arrangements. In Albania, many see it as Prime Minister Edi Rama’s personal initiative, since it was not discussed previously in public.

The agreement, which BIRN has seen, although without its annexes, states: “In the event that, for any reason, the [migrant’s] right to stay in the facilities cease to exist”, Italy must immediately transfer these persons out of Albanian territory.
