Friedrich Weber

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedriech Weber, Dr. (January 30, 1892–1954) was an instructor in veterinary medicine at the University of Munich. He was the leader of the Oberland League and ranked alongside Hitler, Ludendorff, Roehm and Kriebel as one of the chief conspirators of the Beer Hall putsch of 1923. He was convicted along with Hitler in 1925 but continued to head the Oberland League until 1929.

After his release from prison, he set up a private vet practise in Munich and continued close contact with Hitler being given a lucrative position in Berlin after Hitler's accession to power in 1933. He became an army vet late in World War II. After the war, he was heavily fined for war profiteering, but continued to practise veterinary medicine eventually dying in reduced circumstances in 1954.
