On this day, 14 January 1930, communist gangster Albrecht “Ali” Höhler shot Horst Wessel, a unit leader of Berlin’s Nazi stormtroopers (SA), who died as a result of his injuries on February 23.
Höhler was a member of the German Communist Party’s paramilitary organisation the Roter Frontkämpferbund (League of Red Front Fighters).
After his death, Wessel was raised to the position of martyr by the Nazis, while Höhler was sentenced to six years in jail for manslaughter, only to be dragged out and murdered once the Nazis came to power.
