Max Paul Wilhelm Werner Jüttner (11 January 1888 – 14 August 1963) was a German military officer and an SA-Obergruppenführer in the Sturmabteilung (SA), the Nazi Party's paramilitary organization.
He decided to pursue a military career, joined Field Artillery Regiment 55 (2nd Thuringian) in Naumburg as a Fahnenjunker (officer cadet) and was commissioned a Leutnant on 18 August 1907.
He served in the Imperial German Army throughout the First World War, from 1914 to 1918, both in front line service and in staff positions, including as an adjutant in his regiment.
He briefly led a volunteer student group from Jena that fought against Polish insurgents in the third Silesian uprising in May and June 1921.
[10] In October of the same year, Jüttner was made the SA liaison officer to the Sudetendeutsches Freikorps following the Munich Conference.
[11] Following the launch of the Second World War and the conquest of Poland, Jüttner was involved in setting up SA organizations in the territories annexed from the former Polish state.
[12] After Lutze's death in an automobile accident on 2 May 1943, Jüttner temporarily took command of the entire SA as acting SA-Stabschef until SA-Obergruppenführer Wilhelm Schepmann was named as the permanent replacement on 18 August 1943.
From November 1944 and continuing for the last six months of the European phase of the war, Jüttner was involved in the development and organization of the Volkssturm, the Nazi Party national militia.
As the highest-ranking SA officer in the hands of the Allies in 1946 – SA-Stabschef Schepmann had gone into hiding and was still missing – Jüttner took part in the Nuremberg trials.
It had been indicted as a criminal organization, along with the SS, the High Command of the Wehrmacht, the Nazi Party leadership and the Reich Government.
In May 1957, he testified as a witness in the trial of former SS-Oberst-Gruppenführer Sepp Dietrich, who was charged in connection with the 1934 Night of the Long Knives murders.
