Along with the likes of Emil Maurice, Ulrich Graf, and Max Amann, Weber, a bouncer at a bar, was among the earliest political associates of Adolf Hitler.

[11] In 1934, during the Night of the Long Knives, Weber was amongst the SS men who travelled to Bad Wiessee to purge the Sturmabteilung (SA) leadership.

[13] From 1936 to 1939, Weber organized the notorious "Night of the Amazons" carnivals at the Nymphenburg Palace, which featured parades of topless variety show girls dressed only in skin-colored panties.

[14] Ever on the lookout for a chance to enrich himself, Weber was active on Kristallnacht when he took a group of SS men, including a young Hermann Fegelein, to Planegg where they ransacked the estate of Jewish nobleman Baron Rudolf von Hirsch [de].

The two clashed in 1943 over the continuation of horse racing in the city and the dispute was ultimately brought to Hitler himself, where Giesler argued it should be banned as it was not conducive to total war.
