Hitler’s confidants

Bouhler, Helene “Helli” (Majer), born 20-04-1912 in Lauingen a region of Dillingen an der Donau, Bavaria (Bayern), Germany.

After the “seizure of power”, SS Obergruppenführer and Chief of the Chancellery of the Führer of the NSDAP. Philipp Bouhler was elected to the Reichstag (constituency Westphalia-South) on 05-03-1933, to which he belonged until the end of the Second World War. On 20-04-1933, Bouhler joined the general SS (SS No. 54,932) with the rank of SS-Group Leader. He was promoted to SS Obergruppenfuhrer on 30-01-1936. On 02-06-1933, Bouhler also became Reichsleiter of the NSDAP. Other additional offices were of secondary importance: Memberships in the Supreme National Sports Authority for German Motor Vehicles as a representative of SS motorsport concerns from 1933, in the Reich Chamber of Culture and the Reich Press Chamber from 15-11-1933, and in the Academy for German Law from 19-09-1934. Probably in July 1934, Bouhler married an “attractive, charming and ambitious woman […], which drew Hitler’s attention to him again.”: Helene “Helli” Majer, born on 20-04-1912 in Lauingen known as the “most beautiful Woman of the Reich Chancellery”. On 29-08-1934, Bouhler was appointed chief of police in Munich, but did not take up the office again. In September 1934 he was called to Berlin and there on 17-11-1934 he was appointed head of the Führer’s new chancellery (KdF). As a private chancellery, this office was intended to emphasize Hitler’s leadership role. Requests for clemency and complaints addressed to Hitler were processed here, as were Hitler’s private affairs.

Death and burial ground of Bouhler, Helene, born Maier, “Helli”.

the bridal couple here with Generalfeldmarschall der Artillerie. Chief Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, Wilhelm Bodewin Johann Gustav Keitel and the Gauleiter Adolf Wagner.

Wagner for many years suffered from the effects of chronic alcoholism, and his condition worsened in November 1941 after follow-up operations for his WWI leg injury. In June 1942 Adolf Wagner was still recuperating and was replaced in his official duties by Paul Giesler

in an acting capacity on 23 June. Then at a Party rally in Traunstein on 15-07-1942, Wagner suffered a stroke that very seriously incapacitated him with impaired speech and mobility. Wagner nominally remained in his posts until a second stroke resulted in his death on 12-04-1944, age 53, at which time Giesler was named his permanent successor. The increasingly reclusive Führer made a rare public appearance to attend Wagner’s lavish funeral on 17 April at the Deutsches Museum that included a eulogy by Minister of Propaganda Josef Goebbels. The deceased Gauleiter was posthumously awarded the German Order, the Nazi Party’s highest decoration. He was buried near the Ehrentempel (Honor Temples) which housed the remains of those killed in the Beer Hall Putsch.
