Biography

He was a German politician of the NSDAP and since 1936 was a member of the Reichstag. He joined the Nazi Party and its youth group from the very first day it was founded on 4 October 1920. For the party, he served as propaganda leader and speaker. According to urban legend, the Štěchovice treasure is a purported hoard of Nazi treasure. It is said to be hidden in the town of Štěchovice in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. The story says that Emil Klein, then a Nazi general, buried the war booty in tunnels in Hradistko near Štěchovice. The booty included gold, diamonds, jewelry and pieces of art as well as secret files and scientific documents from the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute. Based on documents found in 1993 in the Weimar area, some experts believe that the Nazis hid the stolen goods and the missing Russian "Amber Room" in those tunnels.
