Murder of Paul Anlauf and Franz Lenck
On 9 August 1931 a double homicide took place in Berlin, Weimar Germany, when Berlin police captains Paul Anlauf and Franz Lenck were assassinated by two members of the Parteiselbstschutz, the paramilitary wing of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), on the orders of Walter Ulbricht, the regional KPD leader (and future premier of East Germany). The two murderers were Erich Mielke and Erich Ziemer. Mielke later became the head of the Stasi, the secret police of East Germany; he was not tried and convicted of the murders until 1993.
