Papers re Dr Otto Ernst Schueddekopf of the Hielscher Group 

The 'Hielscher Group' was named after Friedrich Hielscher, an anti-Nazi, who encouraged those sympathetic to his cause to oppose the Nazis from within the party. He was arrested after the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler. Otto-Ernst Schüddekopf, the depositor, in a covering letter at the beginning of the collection, describes himself as a former member of the Hielscher group, who, in the last 3 years of the war, was active in the foreign affairs section of the SS press office. This, he claims, gave him the opportunity to help Jewish members of the group to escape persecution by the Nazis.
