Walter Zander (8 June 1898, Erfurt – 7 April 1993, South Croydon) was a German-British lawyer, scholar and writer.
During World War I, he served as a non-commissioned officer in the German Army and was awarded the Iron Cross.
As a Jew, he left Nazi Germany, emigrating with his family to the United Kingdom in 1937, where he set up a printing business in Slough.
[4] Soon after, however, he was interned for ten months as an enemy alien on the Isle of Man during World War II.
In the internment camp, he was one of those who started "a kind of university, which offered many different lectures on the most varied subjects ranging from theoretical physics to Greek philosophy and Russian for beginners" with his fellow prisoners.
