JapanX Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Walter Stennes was an SA-leader who, fallen out of favour, had incited the "Stennesputsch" rebellion against Hitler in 1931. After Hitler came to power, he immigrated to China and became a military advisor to Chaing Kai-Shek's Koumintang government (until 1949!).
