Kleo Pleyer (1898–1942) was a Nazi politician and academic (historian and sociologist, professor at the Königsberg Albertina University and Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen).
He was married to Luithgard Pleyer with 7 children.
He was the author of "Volk im Feld" (1943), or "Nation at War. The book discussed the Nazi campaigns in France and Russia. Pleyer not only justified the brutal treatment of prisoners of war, but called for "Ausrottung des Judentums" (extermination of Jewry). The book was published posthumously as Pleyer was killed fighting on the Eastern front in 1942.[1] Pleyer was also the creator of Kampflied der Nationalsozialisten (Nazi Combat Song), the battle song of the Nazi Party,[2] and the Leader of Bündischen Front (BF).
