Timeline
Werner Naumann (16 June 1909 – 25 October 1982) was a German civil servant and politician.
He was State Secretary in Joseph Goebbels' Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda during the Nazi Germany era.
He was appointed head of the Propaganda Ministry by Adolf Hitler in his last will and testament after Goebbels was promoted to Reichskanzler.
Naumann joined the Nazi Party in 1928.
Naumann became a member of the SA where he rose to the rank of SA-Brigadeführer by 1933.
Thereafter, Naumann transferred to the SS as an SS-Brigadeführer.
In 1937 he became Chief of the Propaganda Office in Breslau.
A year later he was made the personal aide of Joseph Goebbels and in 1942 became his assistant secretary.
His official title was "Undersecretary and Chief of the Minister's Office in the Propaganda Ministry".
In April 1944 Naumann was named State Secretary in the Propaganda Ministry.
He was a member of the Freundeskreis Reichsführer SS around Heinrich Himmler and served in the Waffen-SS during World War II.
Naumann was present in the Führerbunker in late April 1945.
In the final days of Nazi Germany as Soviet forces took Berlin, he was appointed Propaganda Minister in the Goebbels cabinet by Hitler's Testament of 29 April 1945.
After the suicide of Goebbels on 1 May, new Reich President Karl Dönitz asked Lutz Graf Schwerin von Krosigk to form a new cabinet.
This became known as the Flensburg government and it did not contain a Ministry of Propaganda.
On 1 May 1945, Naumann was the leader of break-out group number 3 from the Führerbunker in Berlin.
Erich Kempka testified at Nuremberg that he had last seen Naumann walking a metre (a yard) in front of Bormann when a Soviet rocket exploded by Bormann while crossing the Weidendammer Bridge under heavy fire in Berlin.
According to Axmann, the group followed a Tiger tank that spearheaded the first attempt to storm across the bridge, but it was destroyed.
Bormann, Stumpfegger and himself were "knocked over" when the tank was hit.
Axmann crawled to a shellhole where he met up again with Naumann, Bormann, Baur, and Stumpfegger; they all made it across the bridge.
From that group, only Naumann and Axmann escaped from the Soviet Red Army encirclement of Berlin and made it to western Germany.
It is in part due to rumors later spread by Naumann that the belief arose that Martin Bormann had survived the Second World War.
According to Naumann, Bormann was not only still alive but, in his words, "was a Soviet spy and he must have arranged beforehand where to meet the Red Army advance units... Bormann now lives in Moscow".
This led to shock waves within the CIA.
After Germany's defeat, Naumann lived under an assumed name for five years and worked as a farm worker, later completing an apprenticeship as a mason.
He eluded capture and led an underground existence under an assumed name until an amnesty in 1950.
For the next few years, he headed a clandestine Neo-Nazi organization known as the Naumann Circle until it was exposed and he was arrested.
He was subsequently judged to be a "Category II offender" in a denazification proceeding.
Naumann was born in Guhrau (today, Góra) in Silesia, Prussia, Germany.
After finishing school, he studied political economics.
He reemerged in early 1950 after an amnesty law had taken effect, and became the manager of an import-export company in Düsseldorf.
This group came to be known as the Naumann Circle (Naumann-Kreis) or the Gauleiter Circle.
They infiltrated the Free Democratic Party for a period of about two years.
Naumann, together with six co-conspirators, was arrested by the British Army on 15 January 1953 for being the leader of a Neo-Nazi group that attempted to infiltrate West German political parties.
Naumann was turned over to the German authorities on 1 April and, after over six months in custody, was released from pre-trial detention on 28 July 1953 by a decision of the Federal Constitutional Court at Karlsruhe.
On 5 August 1953, barely a week after his release, Naumann declared his intention to run for a seat in the Bundestag as a candidate of the right-wing Deutsche Reichspartei (DRP), which had benefited heavily from the banning of the Socialist Reich Party the previous year.
However, on 23 August, just two weeks before the election, the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia, acting as a denazification tribunal, classified him as a Category II offender.
As such, he was prohibited from belonging to any political party, engaging in any political activity, holding any political office, or working as an author, journalist or broadcaster for a period of five years.
