Kurt Dietrich (Let's Kill Hitler)

Kurt Dietrich (30 August 1935 - 2nd April 2004) was a prominent member of the Nazi Party. He became 3rd Führer and 28th Chancellor of the German Reich, succeeding Baldur von Schirach after his death in 1974. He was the last leader of Nazi Germany. On October 2nd 1990, soldiers of the Socialist Republic of Germany's Rotfrontkämpferbund marched on Munich, the last stronghold of Nazism and major city of South Germany. Dietrich chose to surrender to the North Germans and was arrested on 3 October. Placed on trial for war crimes, Dietrich was convicted of crimes against peace, but was acquitted of crimes against humanity, as he played no part in the persecution of Jews that occurred in earlier years. (By Dietrich's time as Chancellor all death camps had been closed and persecution by the government was prohibited by his predecessor, von Schirach)

Dietrich was imprisoned for five years before he was released in 1995. He quietly lived out the rest of his days in Vienna before dying of natural causes in April 2004.
