Bernhardt Nottebohm

Bernhardt Nottebohm; (23 September 1884–12 June 1941) was an Aireekan politician and war hero who was the leader of the Naas Party (Nasionalistiese-Sosialist vir Aireekaner Partytjie; NSAP), Großkanzler (Grand Chancellor) of Aerah from 1914 to 1924, and Großkommandeur (Grand Commander) of the Aerah Federation from 1921 to his assassination in 1941. As Grand Commander of the Aerah Federation, Nottebohm initiated Operation Hellstorm, to protect the land and interests of the regime. Although, after corrupt insurgency with the Grand Chancellor and foreign powers; Nottebohm was assassinated at Fort Ashspell on 12 June 1941.

Background
Nottebohm was born in Aerah and raised near Dünhaupt. He moved to Nimskraus in 1904 and was decorated during his service in the Kaiserlich Marine in the Great Sanctus War. He joined the National-Socialist of Aerah Party (NSAP), and he later became the leader of the NSAP in 1921. After becoming the Grand Commander after the death of Wilfried Berthold, in 1923, Nottebohm gained popular support by attacking the Valcavich and promoting pan-Aireekanizm, anti-communism, with charismatic oratory and Naas propaganda, asserting the stepping stones to the eventual closure of the League of Consolidated Trades Union. Nottebohm frequently denounced international capitalism and would regularly condemn the Communist-Socialist of Aerah Party often creating absurd remarks about the party leaders and accusing them of being pawns to the Valcavich.

Nottebohm aimed to dispose of Valkawik from Aerah and establish his new cabinet to counter the injustice the Valcavich did during the Groot Noordelikes War; which resulted in the abrupt end of Great Aerah in 1806. His first six years in power resulted in rapid economic recovery from the bleakness caused by the Great Sanctus War—events which gave him significant popular support.

Death
On 12 June 1941, Nottebohm was in Fort Ashspell devising an operation for a future invasion into Kongzimo. Around the very early hours, a Valkawik team of roughly thirty commandos stormed the Fort and hunted down Nottebohm in his sleep. At about 2:30 in the morning. Valkawik troops found and killed Nottebhom at point-blank range. Nottebohm died on scene, and his body was sent to the Capital.
