SS-Hauptsturmführer Alois Kälsch served during World War II with the Reichssicherheitshauptamt (RSHA) and as commander of the Sicherungspolizei (Sipo) and Sicherheitsdienst (SD) in Copenhagen and Dnjepropetrowsk.
A member of the Adolf Hitler Jungsturm from August 1923 to November 1923. Awarded the Honor Badge of the Adolf Hitler Jungsturm in Bronze. In 1926 he joined the HJ and served there until June 1941. His last rank within the HJ was Gebietsführer of the HJ in Franconia. In May 1934 he became NSDAP Gaustellenleiter in the office of Gauleiter Julius Streicher and was also his adjutant. Streicher was his best man at his wedding on 24. November 1936. On 10.9.1938 he joined the SS and served as an SS-Obersturmführer with SS-Oberabschnitt Main. His SS membership number was 309 716. From November 1940 NSDAP Kreisleiter and from 30.1.1942 NSDAP Hauptabschnittleiter.
The photos document very well his career from the HJ to NSDAP Kreisleiter. Numerous early HJ photos, taken between 1929 and 1936/1937, followed by photos showing him with the Allgemeine-SS and Waffen-SS. Some photos from his wartime service, taken in Krakau in 1939 and 1940. Among them, there are very nice portrait photos of an HJ leader, SS-Hauptsturmführer, and NSDAP district leader (Kreisleiter). Partially handwritten notes on the reverse. An excellent photo grouping!
One photo shows him walking together with Julius Streicher. Another one standing straight behind Adolf Hitler.
Total: 139 photos
In addition handwritten notes from him about his war service in Krakau from 16.11.1939 to December 1939/January 1940. His writing is very difficult to read.
