==Biography==
Along with the likes of Emil Maurice, Ulrich Graf, and Max Amann, Weber, a bouncer at a seedy bar, was amongst the earliest political associates of Adolf Hitler.〔Sherree Owens Zalampas, ''Adolf Hitler: A Psychological Interpretation of his Views on Architecture, Art, and Music'', Popular Press, 1990, p. 40〕 Ever ready for a fight, Weber carried a riding crop with him, a habit shared by Hitler in these early years.〔Joachim C. Fest, ''Hitler'', Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2002, p. 135〕 Otto Strasser would later claim that Weber was also a pimp at this time, although he had a hatred of Weber whom he denounced as an "ape-like creature" and "the most despicable of Hitler's underlings".〔Otto Strasser, ''Hitler and I'', READ BOOKS, 2008, p. 86〕 In late 1921 Weber was one of Hitler's cohorts when the Nazis attacked a meeting of the Bavarian League. Hitler personally beat up the League's leader Otto Ballerstedt, an event that saw the future Führer serve a month in prison.〔Wulf Schwarzwäller, ''The Unknown Hitler'', Berkley Books, 1989, p. 75〕 At some stage before 1923 Weber lost an eye and often wore a specially made pair of glasses as a result.〔David Jablonsky, ''The Nazi Party in Dissolution: Hitler and the Verbotzeit 1923-25'', Routledge, 2013, p. 185〕
Following the Beer Hall putsch Weber, by then a horse trader, was owed $1000 by Hitler after he had bought the debt from Ernst Hanfstaengl.〔Konrad Heiden, ''The Fuehrer'', Robinson Publishing, 2009, pp. 203–204〕 Weber would insist on Hitler paying the debt in full.〔Konrad Heiden, ''A History of National Socialism'', Taylor & Francis, 1971, p. 101〕 The two however remained close and Hanfstaengl later claimed that Weber was one of the few who could make fun of ''Mein Kampf'' in Hitler's company.〔Ian Kershaw, ''Hitler 1889–1936: Hubris'', Penguin Books, 1999, p. 675〕
A city councilman in Munich, he was effectively the boss of the city following the Nazi seizure of power.〔James P. O'Donnell, ''The Bunker'', Da Capo Press, 2001, p. 180〕 Weber became something of a hate figure in the city, particularly amongst the middle classes and he became a by-word for corruption as it was regularly questioned how this former hotel bellboy had come to own a number of hotels, villas, petrol stations, a brewery, the city's racecourse and bus service as well as a home in the Munich Residenz.〔Ian Kershaw, ''Popular Opinion and Political Dissent in the Third Reich, Bavaria 1933–1945'', Oxford University Press, 2002, p. 149〕 Other titles that he was granted included presidency of the ''Reichsjagdmuseum'' and the League of German Riding Stable Owners.〔Schwarzwäller, ''The Unknown Hitler'', p. 212〕 On the Night of the Long Knives Weber was amongst those SS men who travelled to Bad Wiessee to purge the Sturmabteilung leadership.〔Heiden, ''The Fuehrer'', p. 593〕 Hitler personally rewarded him for his involvement by promoting him to the rank of Oberführer in the SS.〔John Michael Steiner, ''Power Politics and Social Change in National Socialist Germany: A Process of Escalation into Mass Destruction'', Walter de Gruyter, 1976, p. 61〕
