Fritz Wiedemann
Frederick Wiedemann (16 August 1891 in
Augsburg – 17 January 1970 in
Postmünster) was a German soldier,
Nazi Party official, and (publicly) Consul General for the German Nazi party. He was, for a time, the personal
adjutant to
Adolf Hitler, having previously been Hitler's commanding officer in
World War I. The two men subsequently had a falling-out. Later, some would claim that Wiedemann secretly repudiated his Nazi beliefs, warning American and British figures about Hitler's plans for Europe; however he continued to willingly serve Hitler as the
Gestapo chief for the Western Hemisphere, from his post in San Francisco.
