Blutzeuge
Blutzeuge was a term used in Nazi propagranda in 1930s-1940s Germany, depicting a hero cult of "fallen" Nazis who had been killed during the Nazi ascent to political power. An early Nazi usage of the term was Hitler's dedication at the start of Mein Kampf, which he dedicated to the sixteen NS members killed in the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch.
