Schleicher was born in Brandenburg an der Havel, the son of a Prussian officer and a shipowner ′ s daughter.

During World War I, he served on the staff of Wilhelm Groener, who became Schleicher ′ s patron.

In exchange for agreeing to send help to the government, Schleicher was able to secure Ebert ′ s assent to the Army being allowed to maintain its political autonomy.

In September 1921, at a secret meeting in Schleicher ′ s apartment, the details of an arrangement were reached in which German financial and technological aid for building the Soviet arms industry were exchanged for Soviet support in helping Germany circumvent the disarmament clauses of the Treaty of Versailles.

Despite Seeckt ′ s patronage, it was Schleicher who brought about his downfall in 1926 by leaking that Seeckt had invited the former Crown Prince to attend military manoeuvres.

After Seeckt ′ s fall, Schleicher became, in the words of Andreas Hillgruber " in fact, if not in name ", the " military-political head of the Reichswehr ".

Schleicher ′ s triumph was also the triumph of the " modern " faction within the Reichswehr who favored a total war ideology and wanted Germany to become a dicatorship that would wage total war upon the other nations of Europe.

The appointment of Groener as Defence Minister in January 1928 did much to advance Schleicher ′ s career.

Schleicher justified Groener ′ s confidence by getting the naval budget for 1929 passed despite the opposition of the anti-militarist Social Democrats, who formed the largest party in the Reichstag at the time.

Schleicher prepared Groener ′ s statements to the Cabinet and attended Cabinet meetings on a regular basis.

Schleicher ′ s idea was to have Hindenburg use his powers under Article 53 to appoint a man of Schleicher ′ s choosing as chancellor, who would rule under the provisions of Article 48.

It was Schleicher ′ s dream to create that Wehrstaat ( Military State ), in which the military would reorganize German society as part of the preparations for the total war that the Reichswehr wished to wage.

Reflecting Schleicher ′ s reputation for deviousness and being untrustworthy, Hermann Göring joked in 1932 :" Any Chancellor who has Herr von Schleicher on his side must expect sooner or later to be sunk by the Schleicher torpedo, there was a joke current in political circles -" General von Schleicher ought really to have been an Admiral for his military genius lies in shooting under water at his political friends "".

During this period, Schleicher became increasingly convinced that the solution to all of Germany ′ s problems was a " strong man " and that he was that strong man.

Schleicher claimed that Brüning could have had Hindenburg ′ s term extended by the Reichstag, but chose not to in order to humiliate Hindenburg by making him appear on the same stage as Social Democratic leaders.

The British historian John Wheeler-Bennett wrote that the evidence for a SPD putsch was " flimsy " at best, and this was just Schleicher ′ s way of discrediting Groener in Hindenburg ′ s eyes.

Groener ′ s friends told him that it was impossible that Ott would fabricate allegations of that sort or leak the President ′ s letter on his own, and that he should sack Schleicher at once.

Here is Schleicher ’ s explanation of why he offered reconstructed forms:

* 1950 ’ s Oilfield discoveries on school lands enable Schleicher County to build new library and gymnasium facilities for its students.

In late 1926-early 1927, Schleicher told Hindenburg that if it was impossible to form a government headed by the German National People ’ s Party alone, then Hindenburg should " appoint a government in which he had confidence, without consulting the parties or paying attention to their wishes " and with " the order for dissolution ready to hand, give the government every constitutional opportunity to a majority in Parliament ".

The first linguist to offer reconstructed forms from a proto-language was August Schleicher, in his Compendium der vergleichenden Grammatik der indogermanischen Sprachen, originally published in 1861.

Inspired by the natural sciences, especially biology, Schleicher was the first to compare languages to evolving species.

At a press conference held later the same day, Hermann Göring was asked by foreign correspondents to respond to a hot rumour that General von Schleicher had been murdered in his home.

The term morphology was coined by August Schleicher in 1859.

* YFZ Ranch Temple was built by The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints ( FLDS ) Church just outside of Eldorado in Schleicher County, Texas.

Such was the degree of Raeder's lobbying for bigger naval budgets that in early 1932, General Kurt von Schleicher, who viewed Raeder as a threat to the Army budget attempted to discredit Raeder by leaking a story in the press that Raeder was plotting to be defence minister.

After the government of Heinrich Brüning banned the SA, Schleicher who was even more vehemently opposed to the ban than was Raeder, started a successful campaign to remove Groener.

Such opinion was first represented by the likes of August Schleicher, and to a certain extent, Antoine Meillet.

Endzelīns thought that the similarity between Baltic and Slavic was explainable through language contact ; Schleicher, Meillet and others on the other hand, gave arguments for a genetic kinship of the two families.

This process has been supported by strategic acquisitions and dispositions ; one the most important was the take-over of the truck and bus division of the commercial vehicles manufacturer Büssing ( 1971 ), the disposition of the shares of the shipyard Deutsche Werft ( 1966 / 67 ) and the acquisition of the printing machine producer Faber & Schleicher as well as its fusion to MAN Roland Druckmaschinen AG ( 1979 ).

The Defence Minister, General Kurt von Schleicher, was intriguing to bring the Nazis into the government, and the Chancellor, Franz von Papen, was planning to overthrow the Social Democrat government of Prussia, Germany's largest state.

Like nearly all senior Army officers, Rundstedt welcomed the July 1934 purge of Ernst Röhm and the Sturmabteilung ( SA ) leadership, although he was angered that two generals, Schleicher and Ferdinand von Bredow, were killed: he was among the senior officers who later persuaded Hitler to have these two officers posthumously ( but secretly ) rehabilitated.

The second period, ending with World War I, was marked by fast development of Slavic philology and linguistics, most notably, outside of Slavic countries themselves, in the circle formed around August Schleicher and August Leskien at the University of Leipzig.

Kurt von Schleicher (, 7 April 1882 – 30 June 1934 ) was a German general and the last Chancellor of Germany during the era of the Weimar Republic.

During the ensuing talks with the German cabinet, Schleicher was able to get permission to allow the Army to return to Berlin.

When Ebert used the secret line to call the War Ministry, it was Schleicher who took the call.

When Gustav Noske was appointed Defence Minister on December 27, 1918, both Groener and his protégé Schleicher established excellent working relations with the new minister.

Schleicher was a leading member of Sondergruppe R, and it was he who worked out the arrangements with Leonid Krasin for German aid to the Soviet arms industry.

Reflecting this position as a “ state within the state ”, the Reichswehr created the Ministeramt or Office of the Ministerial Affairs in 1928 under Kurt von Schleicher to lobby the politicians.

Had this happened, by the time the recess ended, Schleicher would have been reaping the benefits of the public works projects that his government had begun in January, and in-fighting within the NSDAP would have worsened.

At this time, Schleicher told Meissner, " If Hitler wants to establish a dictatorship, the Army will be a dictatorship within the dictatorship " headed by himself.
