Max Daume was born on the 10th of April 1894 in Küstrin then part of the German Empire. He was a veteran of the First World War, which lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918.
In 1932 Daume became a member of the Nazi Party and later he joined the SS.
On 30 January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg.
The Second World War began on 1 September 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. Nazi Germany possessed overwhelming military superiority over Poland. Germany launched the unprovoked attack with an advance force consisting of more than 2,000 tanks supported by nearly 900 bombers and over 400 fighter planes. In all, Germany deployed 60 divisions and nearly 1.5 million men in the invasion. The assault on Poland demonstrated Germany’s ability to combine air power and armor in a new kind of mobile warfare. The world adopted a new term to describe Germany’s successful war tactic: Blitzkrieg, or “lightning war.”
