What about a letter to the local newspaper (without mentioning the political bits as such things can still be quite sensitive)?
If Itzhoe is a fairly small place a letter (in German) to Vogeley family might produce some results. (I was able to find German relatives of my grandmother's that way)

Did you try in german ? 
itzehoe zeitung brings up several, including
http://www.steinburg.city-map.de/city/db/021401100000/Itzehoe/1/729/Zeitungen.html
with three addresses. Write in english, and if that doesn't work, let us know and somebody here will translate for you.
good luck,
Bob

Hello Sally,
Firstly Vogeley to Vogelei is not really a name change. Many words in modern German that end in 'ei' used to be spellt 'ey', e.g. bey/bei, sey/sei.
They are phonetically identical.
Your husband is entitled under German Law to obtain a copy of his grandfather's birth certificate from the relevant Standesamt (Registry office). He should write to:
Standesamt Rendsburg
Neues Rathaus
Am Gymnasium 4
24768 Rendsburg
email address: standesamt [at] rendsburg.de
He will be asked to prove his direct relationship to Waldemar.
Unfortunately, German law limits access to vital records after c1873 to direct decendents. This means your husband is NOT entitled to receive any information regarding Waldemar's siblings, or any children other than your husband's father/mother. Very frustrating!
Hope this helps,
Justin

Hello Sally
"There was also one piece of info on the internet about Waldemar being a socialist."
Where on the internet have you found this info and what says it exactly?
"I haven't had any luck contacting organisations in Itzehoe either."
Which organisations / archives have you tried to contact in Itzehoe?
"Firstly Vogeley to Vogelei is not really a name change. Many words in
modern German that end in 'ei' used to be spellt 'ey', e.g. bey/bei, sey/sei.
They are phonetically identical."
Vogeley in German and Vogelei in German are phonetically identical.
Vogeley in Englisch and Vogeli in German are phonetically identical.
There are also the names Vögeli, Voegeli, Vögelin, Voegelin, Vögelein.
Kind regards
Svenja

Oh what a bummer.
I got the name, address & phone number from the German white page telephone book. It's a bit awkward that they've got the number allocated to a man who died two years ago !
below is the "expanded" search webpage which also indicates mileage/kilometres. Arthur & wilfred seem out of fashion names so I wondered if they were the same generation & related.

Hello Sally
I was in Germany earlier this year and when I had some spare time after sightseeing I went to the town archives and just asked if they had something on the name I was researching and was given a folder I could look at and photo copy. Worth a try. You could also go to the Standesamt and ask for a copy of the Sterbeurkunde. It could tell you more. Itzehoe is not a very large town, you could also try the Parish Offices.
Good luck, Peonie
