Wilfried! Horst Wessel was killed by Ali Höhner, he was a communist, but the story is, that H.W. and A. H. loved the same girl. That was the case of murdering, not a political murder. But Joseph Goebbels was the Gáuleiter of Berlin and then the story became a political background. Before 1930 Berlin was a "red" city, the domain of Germany's socialists.
