Alfred Zeidler (born 22 September 1902) was a German Schutzstaffel (SS) officer who served Nazi Germany in World War II.

[2][3][4][5][6][1] Alfred Zeidler was born on 22 September 1902 in Danzig – at that time part of West Prussia in the German Empire – as the son of a locksmith.

[6] Following the surrender of Nazi Germany on 8 May 1945, many SS officers (fearing reprisals for war crimes) attempted to disguise themselves as ordinary soldiers and blend in with the Wehrmacht.

Zeidler was eventually discovered with a group of around 75 Gestapo men who, led by Heinrich Fehlis (SiPo and SD commander in Norway), had disguised themselves in Gebirgskorps Norwegen uniforms and hidden in a camp near Porsgrunn.

[6][7][8][9] In 1947, as part of the legal purge in Norway after World War II, Zeidler was sentenced to forced labour for the rest of his life.
