Klaus's Father Was a Painter and He Was One of the Most Important Musicians in the Nazi Regime


 75 Years Ago Today

Monday 4th of August 1947
Electronic music pioneer Klaus Schulze aka Richard Wahnfried is born in Berlin, Berlin, Germany.
Before him being recruited by the German military in 1939, Klaus was one of the first musicians of his age to earn a German military record. Klaus's father was a painter and he was one of the most important musicians in the Nazi regime. The German occupation was just beginning and the young Klaus was born in an orphanage. While he was young he wrote music in a piano program and played as well on piano as he could. At the age of two, Klaus and his sister (her father being a musician who was a young and dedicated painter) were brought up but they were abandoned in the refugee camp and had to return home. A year ago Klaus was born. During that time Klaus played piano on a band called Die Schöne in Hamburg. Later he met his future wife Nina and went to the school of Art Deco. They continued playing the club club and became friends.
Luther Schulze Bach (1889-1945), also known as The First Emperor, was a member of Schule's group of 20 musicians on the St. Louis Blues. Though his time at the club was brief Klaus chose to come to the United States for graduate school and as he finished his law practice he took an interest in becoming a guitarplayer before traveling to Germany and settling in Seattle, Washington.

His Body Was Moved to a Museum Where Bohlmann Worked for a Few Years


 13 Years Ago Today

Monday 19th of January 2009
Serial art vandal Hans-Joachim Bohlmann dies of cancer at the age of 72 in Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany.
His body was moved to a museum where Bohlmann worked for a few years. His father and brothers spent their honeymoon at the zoo with a group of young German kids. In his last interview during a visit to Berlin with the museum photographer the day after the death, the family said only the museum photographer took that photo because it showed how "too expensive a life these boys were on." They did ask a number of young children, including their grandparents and sisters, if their grandparents ever saw Bremestand, before their grandfather started working there in the mid-1800s. They had no idea that they were living in an amusement park. The museum photographer, Wilhelm Bluhm, took his story very seriously. He said that some of the pictures were taken "in the late 70's" and other pictures were taken between 1905 and 1928. He says there were three photographs taken of the zoo, but they all have their own style, and that there is one of a new kind of Bremestand picture that is called The Picture of Bremestand, which you saw in your visit. This book was published between 1905 and 1929 by Lass von Knudsen, or "the old bard of Lass von Knuden" and is now held.

For the Purpose of Provoking Violent Disturbances by an Aggressive Foreign Power


 41 Years Ago Today

Wednesday 3rd of December 1980
Founder of the British Union of Fascists Oswald Ernald Mosley aka The British Führer dies of natural causes at the age of 84 in Orsay, Île-de-France, France.
Oswald and his friends met the great Führer Max Weber in 1914 after hearing an important report by a French nationalist-communist that Hitler had been murdered. He had claimed the man had acted "for the purpose of provoking violent disturbances by an aggressive foreign power". They became friends but had no contact at that time. There had never been any contact between a young Oswald and the Bolsheviks during the days that had passed between 1945 and 1953. On 3rd December 1940, a small group of Communists arrived from Hamburg on horseback and marched into the Paris embassy. Oswald had come on one occasion just before he was to be buried; but Oswald had been murdered just three days earlier. The Communists had tried to conceal their plan by blaming Stalin for the mass murders or calling in mass troops – although they could not prove that. On the day that the Bolsheviks had set up an ambush for the embassy as a counterattack, Oswald had called out at Moscow again. The first thing Oswald saw when he met Oswald was a car with a blue flag. Then he took in the car. The red flag with the name of Stalin was a red poppy with a red bow which read "We love you".
