Werner Schrader ( * 7 March 1895 in Rottorf (today part of Königslutter), Germany, † 28 July 1944 in Zossen) was a German military officer involved in several plots by the German Resistance including the famous 20 July plot, a coup d'état attempting to assassinate Adolf Hitler. ==Early life== In 1914 Schrader graduated as teacher and enlisted voluntarily in the Imperial German Army where he served throughout World War I. Demobilized in 1920 with the rank of ''Oberleutnant'' (First Lieutenant) he worked as teacher. From 1924 to 1927 he taught History and German at an army technical school in Wolfenbüttel.〔(Oberstleutnant Werner Schrader ) Axis history Forum〕 At approximately the same time, Schrader became a member of Stahlhelm ((英語:Steel Helmet), League of Frontline Soldiers), a paramilitary organization after the First World War. There he rose to the rank of regional leader for Braunschweig. After the Nazi takeover of power in Weimar Germany he vehemently opposed aligning the ''Stahlhelm'' with Hitler’s storm troops, eventually losing both his leadership position in the institution and his teaching post.〔(Werner Schrader ) at Gedenkstätte Deutscher Widerstand (in English)〕 An action which clearly led to his downfall occurred in October 1931. That month Werner von Schrader attended the Harzburg Congress; in the presence of the up-and-coming Adolf Hitler, he denounced the excesses of the SA or Storm Troopers. Thus after Adolf Hitler came to power in January 1933, later that year he was detained and then tortured in one of the newly built concentration camps. He managed to successfully escape the camp by May 1934.〔 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「Werner Schrader」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
