German WWII Preliminary Record for POW Report for Kurt Daluege- Kurt Max Franz Daluege was chief of the national uniformed Ordnungspolizei (Order Police). In August 1930, when Berlin SA leader Walter Stennes had his men attack the Berlin Party headquarters, it was Daluege's SS men who defended it and put the attack down. Hitler promoted both Daluege and Heinrich Himmler to SS-Obergruppenführer, with Daluege being selected as the SS leader of northern Germany while Himmler controlled the southern SS units (out of Munich). Following Reinhard Heydrich's assassination in 1942, Daluege served as Deputy Protector for the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Daluege directed the German measures of retribution for the assassination, including the Lidice massacre. In May 1943, Daluege became seriously ill after a massive heart attack. In August, he was relieved of all of his day-to-day responsibilities and spent the rest of the war living on a property in western Pomerania, given to him by Hitler. In May 1945, Daluege was arrested by British troops in Lübeck and interned in Luxembourg and then at Nuremberg, where he was charged as "a major war criminal". In September 1946 he was extradited to Czechoslovakia, tried, convicted and executed by hanging in October of 1946.
