Josef Pfitzner (24 March 1901 – 6 September 1945) was a politician of Nazi Germany and a writer.
Pfitzner was publicly executed in Prague after World War II for speaking in favour of the Nazis, taking part in Nazi organisations, and defrauding Prague city in financial deals with the Germans.
Pfitzner was publicly executed in Prague after World War II within three hours of being convicted for speaking in favour of the Nazis, taking part in Nazi organisations, and defrauding Prague city in financial deals with the Germans.
[citation needed] Pfitzner took a special interest in the Sudeten German past and published Volkstumsschutz und Nationale Bewegung.
However, it was Heydrich's influence that contained Pfitzner's further career; the Protector considered the deputy mayor - a man of words rather than deeds - to be unsuitable for a responsible position in the times of struggle.
