Johann Eilts

Johann Gerdes Eilts (born May 6, 1894 in Stedesdorf, Hanover, Germany, February 4, 1945 in Neuengamme concentration camp, Hamburg) was a German politician (KPD).

After being returned from the First World War, Gerdes Eilts worked on the Wilhelmshaven navy until he was released for communist agitation. During the Second World War he operated a hot deficiency in Wilhelmshaven.

Eilts first joined the SPD in 1912, but became a member of the KPD after the First World War. There he became Chairman of the KPD City Council in Rüstringen. From 1925 to 1933 Eilts was a member of the town council of Rüstringen. From 1931 to 1932 he was a member of the Oldenburgische Landtag.

After the transfer of power to the National Socialists, Eilts was arrested in 1933. Although he had behaved politically inconspicuously since the KPD had been crushed in 1933, he was arrested in the course of the action grids in August 1944 and brought to Neuengamme concentration camp, which he did not survive.
