''' Peter Deeg ''' (14 May 1908 – 25 June 2005) was a German lawyer, writer and politician. He was a member of the NSDAP and later the Christian Social Union of Bavaria.
==Early politics== Peter Deeg was born in Bad Kissingen. He was a NSDAP party-member since the year 1928. He became famous in connection with the so-called "Mordfall von Waltershausen" (Murder of Waltershausen), with a spectacular court hearing in 1933. This conflict has an antisemitic background. Because of the contact to important lawyers, he came in contact with Julius Streicher, who became his mentor.
==Nazism== Julius Streicher allowed Deeg to publish his books in the NSDAP publishing house Der Stürmer. Between 1938 and 1940, three famous books were published: ''Hofjuden'' (Court Jew), ''Die Judengesetze Großdeutschlands'' (Jewish laws of Großdeutschland), ''Vor 50 Jahren. Für und wider den Russen-Pakt'' (50 years ago – pro or against the pact with Russia). Since 1940, Deeg seemed to be in conflict with the NSDAP. But this part of his life is not very clear.
==After World War II== After World War II, Deeg became a close friend to Franz Josef Strauss. Together with him, he was a part of the Spiegel scandal.
