Nazi party member holds a wreath of SA-Obergruppenführer Alfred Meyer, who was the Gauleiter of the North Westphalian District and the General of the Sturmabteilung (Stormtroopers). Meyer was found dead on 11 April 1945, by the River Weser. The cause of death was suicide, most likely prompted by Germany's impending defeat in the war. By the time of his death, he was a State Secretary and Deputy Reichsminister in the Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories (Reichsministerium für die Besetzten Ostgebiete or Ostministerium).
