Lorenz Ritter von Stransky

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lorenz Ritter Von Stransky (March 14, 1889 - November 9, 1923) was an engineer and early member of the Nazi Party who reportedly was so transfixed by Adolf Hitler's speeches that he couldn't resist joining the party. On the night of the Beer Hall Putsch, Stransky was hit with a police bullet and died along with 15 others. Hitler dedicated his autobiographical book, Mein Kampf to him as a martyr to the Nazi cause.

Regarding personal names: Ritter is a title, translated approximately as Knight, not a first or middle name. There is no equivalent female form.
