Richard Walther Darré (born Ricardo Walther Oscar Darré; 14 July 1895 – 5 September 1953), was one of the leading Nazi "blood and soil" (German: ''Blut und Boden'') ideologists and served as Reichsminister of Food and Agriculture from 1933 to 1942. He was an SS-''Obergruppenführer'' and the seventh most senior officer of the SS. When the Second World War ended, Darré was the senior most ''SS-Obergruppenführer'', with date of rank from 9 November 1934, outranked only by Heinrich Himmler and the four ''SS-Oberst-Gruppenführer''.〔''Dienstalterslisten der SS'', NSDAP Revised edition (20 April 1945)〕 ==Early life== Darré was born in Belgrano,〔''Blood and Soil: Richard Walther Darré and Hitler's 'Green Party, Anna Bramwell (Kensal Press, 1985, ISBN 0-946041-33-4)〕 a Buenos Aires neighbourhood, in Argentina to Richard Oscar Darré, a German with Huguenot ancestry, (born 10 March 1854, Berlin; died 20 February 1929, Wiesbaden)〔Richard () Darré, ''Meine Erziehung im Elternhause und durch das Leben'', Wiesbaden, 1925〕〔Bramwell gives the middle name as "Oskar".〕 and the half-Swedish/half-German Emilia Berta Eleonore, née Lagergren (born 23 July 1872, Buenos Aires; died 20 July 1936, Bad Pyrmont). His father moved to Argentina in 1888 as a partner of the German international import/export wholesaler Engelbert Hardt & Co.〔 Although his parents' marriage was not a happy one (Richard Walther remembered his father as a hard drinker and a womanizer〔Letter to his wife Alma as quoted by Bramwell.〕), they lived prosperously, and educated their children privately until they were forced to return to Germany as a result of worsening international relations in the years preceding World War I. Darré gained fluency in four languages: Spanish, German, English, and French. Darré's parents sent him to Germany at age nine to attend school in Heidelberg; in 1911 he attended as an exchange pupil King's College School in Wimbledon. The rest of the family returned to Germany in 1912. Richard (as he was known in the family) then spent two years at the ''Oberrealschule'' in Gummersbach, followed in early 1914 by the ''Kolonialschule'' for resettlement in the German colonies at Witzenhausen, south of Göttingen, which awakened his interest in farming. After a single term at Witzenhausen, he volunteered for army service. He was lightly wounded a number of times while serving during World War I, but fared better than most of his contemporaries. When the war ended he contemplated returning to Argentina for a life of farming, but the family's weakening financial position during the years of inflation made this impossible. Instead he returned to Witzenhausen to continue his studies. He then obtained unpaid work as a farm assistant in Pomerania: his observation of the treatment of returning German soldiers there influenced his later writings. In 1922 he moved to the University of Halle to continue his studies: here he took an agricultural degree, specialising in animal breeding. He did not complete his PhD studies until 1929, at the comparatively mature age of 34. During these years he spent some time working in East Prussia and Finland. He married twice. In 1922 he married Alma Staadt,〔Full name Alberta Helene Theresa Alma Staadt; date of marriage 29 April 1922: see catalog of archive materials held by the Munich Archives relating to Alma Darré available at http://www.ifz-muenchen.de/archiv/ed_0916.pdf (consulted 18 Jan 2014).〕 a schoolfriend of his sister Ilse. He divorced Alma in 1927, and subsequently married Charlotte Freiin von Vittinghoff-Schell, who survived him. The first marriage produced two daughters. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Walther Darré」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
