Three years later, Rudolf's wife, Ida Meyer, married Richard Kaselowsky, a close friend of her late husband. Kaselowsky and Louis Oetker, a younger brother of August, took charge of the business in 1921. The two men built additional factories and diversified into other businesses in Germany, including sewing machine manufacturer Kochs Adlernaehmaschinen Werke AG and phosphates producer Chemische Fabrik Budenheim AG. By the time Louis Oetker died in 1933, Kaselowsky had become a member of the Nazi Party and Adolf Hitler the country's chancellor. In the late 1930s, Kaselowsky joined the Freundeskreis Reichsfuehrer SS, an elite group of businessmen and Nazi officials brought together by Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS and organizer of the Holocaust, according to the 624-page study, which was released last October.“He was a Nazi by conviction, and interested in gaining a reputation and close contact with leading party officials,” said Jungbluth.
