Wilhelm Schepmann (17 June 1894 – 26 July 1970) was an ''Sturmabteilung'' (SA) general (''Obergruppenführer'') in Nazi Germany and the last ''Stabschef'' (Chief of Staff) of the Nazi Stormtroopers. ==Biography== Schepmann was an ''Obergruppenführer'' in the Nazi Party para-military branch known as the ''Sturmabteilung'' (SA) when he succeeded Viktor Lutze as Stabschef (SA) after Lutze was killed in a car accident. He began working to restore the morale and the esteem of the SA and also began cooperating with the SS. He stated, "I will support the Waffen-SS just as much as any other part of the armed forces. The Waffen-SS has been heroic." Schepmann managed to have units in the Heer (''Panzerkorps Feldherrnhalle''), Kriegsmarine, and Luftwaffe (''Jagdgeschwader 6 Horst Wessel'') given SA honour titles, and even a Waffen-SS division (''18. SS Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadier-Division Horst Wessel''). Following the war he became involved in the All-German Bloc/League of Expellees and Deprived of Rights.〔Kurt P.
