Streicher, Julius (b. 12 Feb. 1885, d. 16 Oct. 1946). Nazi propagandist Born near Augsburg, he joined the Nazi Party in 1922 and took an active part in the Hitler Putsch of 1923. In 1928–40 he was the Nazi leader (Gauleiter) of Franconia, though his main contribution to Nazi rule lay in his fanatic, ferocious, and extremely vulgar anti-Semitic propaganda. He was executed after the Nuremberg Trials.
