Ewald Latacz

Ewald Latacz (born 24 June 1885 in Kattowitz (Katowice); died 12 February 1953 in Frankfurt am Main) was a Silesian politician.

After his release, he became a civil law notary and lawyer in Berlin during 1922–1945, specialising in work with oil companies in the period 1922–1939.

Latacz was also a member of the Nazi Union of German Lawyers until the end of the Second World War.

In 1940, he applied for, but failed to receive, the permission of Nazi German judicial authorities of Silesian Province to open a law office in Upper Silesia.

Latacz never returned to Upper Silesia, which was undergoing the denazification process in the Soviet occupation zone in 1945.
