A page from the SS personnel file of Alfred Franke [aka Franke-Griksch]
See too Brian Renk of British Columbia relates his investigation into the origins of the controversial Franke-Griksch report: “… I also wrote to Ekkehard Franke-Griksch (the son). He sent a bundle of documents about his father and wrote that Alfred Franke-Gricksch had committed treason by conspiring with the Strassers, was sentenced to death, and went into exile, but that his friend Himmler had given him a new identity (Franke) and eventually made him an SS officer, training Death’s Head Division recruits in Dachau 1935-39, than later promoting him to the SS Personell Main Office in January 1943.”
