# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Wilhelm Frick was born 12 March 1877 and came up through Munich's criminal police, where in 1923 he joined Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch, earned a treason conviction, and slipped imprisonment. By 1930 he had become the first Nazi to hold a ministerial post anywhere in Germany, running Thuringia's Interior Ministry. When Hitler took power in 1933, Frick became Reich Minister of the Interior and spent the next decade drafting the laws that fused the regime together and codified its racial doctrine, the Nuremberg Laws chief among them. Appointed to Hitler's six-man war cabinet in August 1939, he seemed entrenched — but the rise of Himmler and the SS gutted his standing, and in 1943 he was shoved aside, kept on as minister without portfolio until the collapse. He was tried at Nuremberg, convicted of war crimes, and hanged 16 October 1946.
