Theodor von der Pfordten

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Theodor von der Pfordten (May 14, 1873 - November 9, 1923) was a county court councillor, who served in World War I and was an early member of the Nazi Party who took part in Adolf Hitler's failed Beer Hall Putsch. He along with fifteen others died trying to overthrow the government of Bavaria. He would not have a proper burial, until Hitler came to power, when he would be known as a martyr of the Nazi struggle. Hitler's Mein Kampf is dedicated to him with the others killed also.
