Waldemar Pabst in 1930
|
Waldemar Pabst (24 December 1880 in Berlin – 29 May
1970 in Düsseldorf) was a German soldier and political activist, involved in far right
and anti-communist activity in both his homeland and Austria. As a
serving officer Pabst gained notoriety for ordering the executions of Karl
Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg in 1919 as well as for his leading
role in the coterie of ultra-nationalist conspirators around Wolfgang
Kapp. In Austria he played a central part in organising rightist militia
groups before being deported due to his activities. Pabst subsequently faded
from public life in Nazi Germany as he was never more than loosely
associated with the Nazis.
