Nazi Propaganda Postcard With Portrait of the Assassinated Nazi Peter von Heydebreck. Non-circulated. Hans-Adam Otto von Heydebreck, commonly known as Peter von Heydebreck (1 July 1889, in Köslin – 30 June 1934, in Stadelheim Prison) was a German Freikorps- and SA leader, member of the Reichstag and a Nazi. Heydebreck served as an officer in the German Army in World War I. During the German revolution of November 1918, he founded the Freikorps named after him. He made a career for himself in the Nazi party, but, during the Night of the Long Knives in June 1934, he was brought to Stadelheim Prison and was executed with five other SA men by an SS firing squad, becoming one of the victims of the Night of the Long Knives. The Nazis did not rename the town which was named after him. In 1957, Sepp Dietrich was sentenced to 18 months in prison for convening the firing squad that executed Heydebreck and the others. .
