About Erhard Heiden
- Erhard Heiden (23 February 1901 – 1933) was an early member of the Nazi Party and the third commander of the Schutzstaffel (SS), the paramilitary wing of the Sturmabteilung ("Storm Detachment; SA").
- He was appointed head of the SS, an elite subsection of the SA in 1927.
- At that time the SS numbered less than a thousand men and Heiden found it difficult to cope under the much larger SA.
- Heiden was not a success in the post, and SS membership dropped significantly under his leadership.
- He was dismissed from his post in 1929, officially for "family reasons".
- He was arrested after the Nazis came to power in 1933 and executed that same year.
