Walter Buch

Walter Buch (24 October 1883 – 12 September 1949) was a German jurist as well as an SA and SS official during the Nazi era. He was Martin Bormann's father-in-law. As head of the Supreme Party Court, he was an important Party official. However, due to his insistence on prosecuting major Party figures on moral issues, he alienated Adolf Hitler, and his power and influence gradually diminished into insignificance. After the end of the Second World War in Europe, Buch was classified as a major regime functionary or in the denazification proceedings in 1948. On 12 September 1949, he committed suicide.
