Wilhelm Frick Quotes

A collection of quotes by Wilhelm Frick.

Wilhelm Frick (1877-1946) was a prominent German politician and a member of the Nazi Party. Born in Alsenz, Germany, he studied law and political science before embarking on a career in politics. Frick played a crucial role in shaping the early years of the Nazi regime and held several key positions.

In 1925, Frick joined the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) and became one of Adolf Hitler's closest allies. He served as the Minister of the Interior from 1933 to 1943, playing a significant role in implementing policies that stripped citizens of their civil liberties, consolidated Nazi power, and suppressed political opposition. Frick was heavily involved in the persecution of Jews, overseeing the implementation of racial laws and anti-Semitic policies.

During World War II, Frick saw his influence decline as other Nazi officials gained more power. In 1943, he was replaced as Minister of the Interior but retained a relatively inconspicuous position as Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia until 1945. Following Germany's defeat, Frick was captured by Allied forces and stood trial at the Nuremberg Trials in 1946. He was convicted of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and conspiracy to commit crimes, including his role in the Holocaust. Wilhelm Frick was subsequently executed by hanging on October 16, 1946.
