Wilfred von Oven

Wilfred von Oven (4 May 1912 – 13 June 2008) was a Bolivian–German journalist, publicist and civil servant who served as the Press Adjutant of Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels between 1943 and the German capitulation in 1945.

Wilfred von Oven was born in La Paz, Bolivia to German parents, the father's side having a military tradition.

Oven joined the Nazi Party and its paramilitary wing, the SA, on 1 May 1931, but resigned from both exactly one year later in protest at the shift of Nazism further to the right (the "Stennes Revolt").

In 1943, with the rank of Lieutenant, the OKW appointed him as Goebbels' Press adjutant, which he remained until the end of the war.

Oven was declared persona non grata by the Federal German Embassy in Buenos Aires and remained a committed Nazi.
