Curriculum Vitae

Kurt Nestor, Walter Nestor's older brother, attended grammar school at the Jesuit College Kollegium Kalksburg, where he graduated in 1915. He went to Innsbruck to study law and joined the Austria Innsbruck student fraternity in 1915. He was then called up for military service. He completed his studies in 1920 with a doctorate in law in Graz, where he also became a member of the Carolina Graz student fraternity. Kurt Nestor then worked as a lawyer in Graz.

Because Alfons Gorbach had organized a counter-demonstration against the "German Day" announced by the Nazis for 27 February 1938 in Graz without the approval of the federal leadership of the VF, he was dismissed from his position as regional leader of the VF. He then leaves Graz and is driven to Vienna by Kurt Nestor in his car. Kurt Nestor is arrested for this "escape aid" on March 15, 1938 and accused of helping Alfons Gorbach to flee abroad. He remains in custody for around six weeks and then moves to Vienna. After the Bürgerbräu assassination attempt on Hitler, Kurt Nestor was arrested again in the fall of 1939 and held in Vienna police prison for five weeks.
