Wilhelm Zander (22 April 1911 – 27 September 1974) was an adjutant to Martin Bormann during World War II.

Hitler then ordered that three copies be made and hand-delivered to Field Marshal Ferdinand Schörner in Czechoslovakia, the Brown House, Munich and Karl Dönitz in Schleswig-Holstein.

The couriers were Hitler's army adjutant, Willy Johannmeyer, deputy press attaché, Heinz Lorenz and Zander, respectively.

Armed with automatic weapons and wearing helmets to break through Soviet lines, the men left the bunker around 8.00 am.

[6][8] Zander changed his identity, adopted the surname Paustin and worked as a gardener after the war in Europe ended.
