ヴェルナー・フォン・ブロンベルク
After the "Machtergreifung" of the National Socialists in 1933, "Reichswehrminister" Werner von Blomberg demanded the Saxonian "Volksbildungsministerium" (Ministry of the People's Education) to show more recognition for Steinkopf's work during World War I. In 1935, Steinkopf was promoted to full professor, and continued to work at the TU Dresden until his retirement in 1940.
