Eduard Wagner (1 April 1894 – 23 July 1944) was a general in the Army of Nazi Germany who served as quartermaster-general during World War II.
On 24 July 1939, he drew up regulations that allowed German soldiers to take hostages from civilian populations and execute them in response to resistance.
[3] On the Eastern Front, he had a role in ensuring that suitable winter clothing was supplied to the German forces, and on 27 November 1941 he reported, "We are at the end of our resources in both personnel and material.
"[6] After the war, Otto Bräutigam of the Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories claimed in his book that in February 1943, he had the opportunity to read a personal report by Wagner regarding a discussion with Heinrich Himmler in which Himmler had expressed the intention to exterminate about 80% of the populations of France and England by special forces of the SD after the German victory.
On 20 July, Wagner arranged the airplane that flew Stauffenberg from Rastenburg back to Berlin after the bomb that was believed to have killed Hitler had exploded.
