Politician

The Resume

    (May 9, 1907-August 8, 1974)
    Born in Berlin, Germany
    Leader of the Hitler Youth (1931 - 1940), replaced by Artur Axmann
    Nazi Party leader of <23247>Vienna, Austria Surrendered to Allied forces in 1945, tried at Nuremberg for war crimes
    Found guilty and sentenced to 20 years in prison

Why he might be annoying:

    Under his leadership, the Nazis robbed an entire generation of its youth and had them indoctrinated with fascist ideals.
    He was an early Nazi Party member, joining in 1925 at the age of 18.
    Although he was against the cruel treatment of Jews, documents surfaced that showed his role in the deportation of over 180,000 Viennese Jews to death camps.
    He cited the deportation of Jews from Vienna as 'a great contribution to the culture of Europe.'
    He was an alleged homosexual.
    He wrote poems about Hitler, and wrote a special prayer that Hitler Youths were to say before meals (it was also about Hitler).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He had Julius Streicher's anti-semitic newspaper 'Der Sturmer' banned from Hitler Youth functions, and discouraged Hitler Youths from reading it.
    He was disliked by high ranking Nazis later in his career due to voicing his opinion that Jews deserved better treatment.
    Along with Albert Speer, von Schirach was the only other Nuremberg trial defendant to blame Hitler for the war, and denounce him while on the stand.
    His wife divorced him while he was serving his prison sentence.
    He was fluent in English.
    At the time of his death he had been suffering from an eye disease, and was almost totally blind.
