He remained a vigorous and committed political activist despite periods of ill health in recent years, and was a good friend and campaigner for the defence of Ursula Haverbeck, the 93-year-old educator and publisher who is still facing a series of trials and threats of imprisonment for asking questions about German history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After studying medicine at several universities \u2013 beginning in Munich \u2013 Rigolf received his doctorate in 1961 and trained at hospitals in Switzerland and Austria as well as Germany, becoming a specialist surgeon dealing with trauma injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.heritageanddestiny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/UrsulaRigolfMichele.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.heritageanddestiny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/UrsulaRigolfMichele-300x254.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11012\"\/><\/a><figcaption><em><strong>Dr Rigolf Hennig (above centre) with his comrades Ursula Haverbeck and Lady Mich\u00e8le Renouf<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For many years he was a medical officer in the German Army Reserve, holding the rank of Colonel, until \u2018anti-fascists\u2019 forced the Bundeswehr to remove him in 1995, already aged 60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having begun his political activism as a defence policy specialist in the mainstream conservative Bavarian party CSU, Rigolf was later active in a series of nationalist parties and groups including the Republikaner, the German League for People and Homeland, NPD, and <em>Europ\u00e4ische Aktion<\/em> (European Action).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was a local council candidate twice for the NPD in his home city of Verden and regularly wrote articles for nationalist journals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>H&amp;D<\/em>\u2018s assistant editor Peter Rushton comments: \u201cRigolf Hennig was a great and good man.
