Walter Bingham MM (born Wolfgang Billig; 5 January 1924) is a German-born British-Israeli journalist, actor, and businessman, as well as a Holocaust survivor and decorated World War II veteran.

[2] He was active in an Orthodox Zionist youth group, preparing him to agricultural kibbutz life in Mandatory Palestine.

Bingham's father was arrested but he himself was not caught up in the sweep as he had been away from the family home at the time - his parents had sent him to a Jewish school in Mannheim.

He survived the Holocaust because of a Kindertransport to Great Britain in 1939, where he lived for the most part in a Zionist kibbutz-type community.

While stationed in occupied Germany, he also worked in counter-intelligence and helped identify Nazi officers attempting to conceal their former roles.

He interrogated former Nazi foreign minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, who denied all knowledge of the Holocaust.

After the war, while still serving in the British Army, Bingham was granted compassionate leave to visit his mother in Sweden.

Although his friends from the Zionist community where he had lived moved to Israel and were among the founders of kibbutz Lavi, Bingham stayed in Britain as his wife did not want to leave.

[13] He was also an advertising model and Santa Claus in London's premier department stores Harrods and Selfridges.

[18] In 2023 Bingham travelled to Germany, the Netherlands and the UK to participate in a reenactment and commemoration of the Kindertransport which was filmed for a documentary and covered extensively in the media.
