Ernst Leonhardt : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ernst Leonhardt Ernst Leonhardt (1885–1945) was an American-born Swiss military figure and pro-Nazi Germany politician. == Biography ==
Ernst Leonhardt was born to a German-born Swiss father on September 25, 1885 in Tracy City, Grundy County, Tennessee, United States of America.〔Walter Wolf, ''(Leonhardt, Ernst )'', in: Historisches Lexikon der Schweiz, 2008 (in German, French, Italian)〕 Leonhardt moved to Switzerland at an early age to attend school at Basel, before joining the Swiss Army, where he rose to the rank of major.〔Philip Rees, ''Biographical Dictionary of the Extreme Right Since 1890'', Simon & Schuster, 1990, p. 229〕 Leonhardt became involved in politics in 1932 when he joined the National Front, and before long he had risen to the rank of ''Gauführer'' (equivalent to Gauleiter) in both Basel-City and the Canton of Solothurn.〔 However he clashed with his superiors and in 1933 he left the Front and set up his own ''Volksbund'' with fellow dissident Emil Sonderegger.〔 The group was dominated by the forceful personality of Leonhardt, a strong factor in its failure to attract much of a following.〔 He also founded the ''Schweizerische Gesellschaft der Freunde einer Autoritären Demokratie'' (SGAD) in 1938 (a group officially banned in 1940, although in existence until 1941〔), whilst he was also a member of Franz Burri's ''Nationalsozialistischer Schweizerbund'' and ''Nationalsozialistische Bewegung in der Schweiz''.〔 Although Leonhardt continued to be involved in Swiss pro-Nazi movements, he had in fact relocated to Germany in 1939 and continued his activism from there.〔 He worked closely with Burri to distribute Nazi propaganda into Switzerland, whilst also recruiting volunteers for the SS〔 and arguing for an ''Anschluss''-style takeover of Switzerland by Hitler. Leonhardt's Swiss citizenship was revoked in 1943 due to this idea.〔 In his absence, the Swiss courts found Leonhardt guilty of attacking the Swiss Confederation's independence and illegally recruiting for a foreign military (''i. e.'' the SS), sentencing him to fifteen and a half years in prison.〔 However, he remained free in Germany for the rest of his life, continuing to produce propaganda.〔 He was killed in an air raid on March 26, 1945 in Oberndorf am Neckar, Rottweil (district), Baden-Württemberg, Germany.〔〔
