** Wilhelm Frick (b.1877-d.1946)
was a prominent German politician during WW2 and the last Governor of the protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Frick took part in the failed Beer Hall Putsch of 1923, for which he was convicted of high treason. He managed to avoid imprisonment and soon afterwards became a leading figure in the Reichstag. After the WW2 German leader became Chancellor of Germany in 1933, Frick joined the new government and was named Reich Minister of the Interior.
Additionally, on 21 May 1935, Frick was named
Generalbevollmächtigter für die Reichsverwaltung
(General Plenipotentiary for the Reich Administration).
He was instrumental in formulating laws that consolidated the new regime (
Gleichschaltung
), as well as laws that defined the racial policy, most notoriously the Nuremberg Laws. On 30 August 1939, immediately prior to the outbreak of the WW2, Frick was appointed by the WW2 German Leader on Council of Ministers for Defense of the Empire which operated as a war cabinet. Following the rise of the political elite forcess, Frick gradually lost favor within the political party of the time, and in 1943 he was replaced by the political elite forcess
Reichsführer of the Schutzstaffel
as interior minister. Frick remained in the cabinet as a minister without portfolio until the WW2 German Leader's death on April 30, 1945.
