Otto Ernst Remer (18 August 1912 – 4 October 1997) was a German Wehrmacht Army officer in World War II who played a major role in stopping the 20 July plot in 1944 against Adolf Hitler. He was a Captain and Major (1943-1944) and finally a Colonel and a General in 1945 . In his later years, he became a politician and far-right activist.[1] He co-founded the Socialist Reich Party in West Germany in the 1950s and is considered an influential figure in postwar neo-fascist politics in Germany.[1]
