Wilhelm Eduard Schmid (April 12, 1893 – June 30, 1934), better known as Willi Schmid, was a German music critic, and an accidental victim of the Night of the Long Knives in a case of mistaken identity.
Biography
Born in 1893, Willi Schmid served in the Imperial Army in World War I, during which he was wounded in the stomach. A practising musician, he studied music under Christian Döbereiner, and founded the Munich Viol Quartet.[1] He was also a well-respected music critic and wrote for the Münchener Neueste Nachrichten.[2]
He was killed by the Nazi SS during the Night of the Long Knives because his name was similar to one of the intended targets, apparently either an SA leader named Willi Schmidt,[3][4] or an associate of Otto Strasser named Ludwig Schmitt.[5] William Shirer's account in The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich mentions that Schmid was playing the cello in his study, while his wife was preparing supper and his three children were playing in the adjacent room, when Nazi agents knocked on the door and took him away. His body was sent to his widow in a sealed casket four days later, with written instructions from the SS not to open it under any circumstances.
