Friedrich Wilhelm Kritzinger

Friedrich Wilhelm Kritzinger (April 14, 1890 - October 1947) was a Nazi politician. He was the deputy head of the Reich Chancellery and was present at the Wannsee Conference in 1942.
Kritzinger was the only participant at this conference who was aghast at what was being proposed for dealing with 'The Jewish Question', as he had been assured earlier by Hitler that such a drastic option against the Jews would not happen (Conference chairperson Reinhard Heydrich replied that for reasons of political expediency, Hitler would continue to officially deny the policy, but that the decision to annhilate the Jews was taken in secret and that he was obliged to support this goal, despite there being no written order from Hitler).
He was acquitted of crimes by an allied court in 1946. He died in 1947.
