CONTEXT

Administrative/Biographical history:

Otto Ernst Schüddekopf (1912-1984), historian, gained his doctorate in 1938 and became an English contributor to the Auslandsnachrichtendienst (foreign news service) and member of the Reichssicherheitshauptamtes (Reich security main office) with the rank of SS-Obersturmführer. From 1953 he worked as a history lecturer and co-edited the International Jahrbuch für Geschichts- und Geographieunterricht. In 1973 he was awarded the cultural prize of the federation of tradesunions. He died in 1984.
