Richard Kurt Fiedler (24 April 1908 – 14 December 1974) was a German Nazi Party politician, SA and SS Brigadeführer and Generalmajor of police.

During the Second World War, he was involved in Holocaust-related repressions in areas annexed from Poland, and in Montenegro where he served as the SS and Police Leader (SSPF).

[2] On the 20th of that month, Fiedler and Ernst were among eight or nine participants in the extrajudicial murder of Albrecht Höhler, a member of the Communist Party of Germany who had been sentenced to six years in prison in 1930 for the manslaughter of SA-Sturmfuhrer Horst Wessel.

From November 1933 until the fall of the Nazi regime, Fiedler also served as a deputy in the Reichstag from three different electoral constituencies: first #3 (Potsdam II) to March 1936, then #23 (Düsseldorf-West) to April 1938 and, finally, #11 (Merseburg) to May 1945.

He stated the contribution the Jews made to the German war effort as forced laborers was exaggerated, that they were "dispensable" and that others could be found to do this work.

He served at first with a military police unit and then was deployed for brief periods on the eastern front with the 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking.

There were very few Jews living in Montenegro during the war and the Italian authorities had been generally lax in enforcing racial laws, not deporting them or expropriating their property.

In the final phase of the war in February 1945, he commanded a defensive force in Strasburg (today, Brodnica) in Pomerania and in the operational area of Army Group Vistula.

Also, a preliminary investigation of Fiedler in connection with aiding and abetting the 1933 murder of Albrecht Höhler was dismissed in 1969 by the public prosecutor due to expiration of the statute of limitations.
