About Wilhelm Schepmann
Wilhelm Schepmann was a German school teacher who became a Nazi Party official and the last SA-Stabschef of the original Nazi paramilitary organization, the Sturmabteilung (SA). Schepmann was an SA-Obergruppenführer when he was appointed by Adolf Hitler to succeed Viktor Lutze as SA-Stabschef in 1943. Schepmann lived under an assumed name from Germany's surrender until 1949 when he was discovered and arrested. After denazification proceedings, he was initially convicted of criminal behavior but was acquitted on appeal. He resumed local political activity with a right-wing party and was elected deputy mayor of Gifhorn, but was forced to resign in 1961 following a public outcry.
