Friedrich "Fritz" Berber (27 November 1898 in Marburg, Germany – 23 October 1984 in Kreuth, West Germany) was a member of the Nazi administration in Germany up until 1943, after which he worked, on secondment, for International Red Cross in Geneva.[1]
Before World War II, Berber studied at Woodbrooke College, a Quaker study centre in Birmingham, England.[1]
Fritz Berber joined the Nazi Party in 1937. He was also a member of the National Socialist German Lecturers League and the National Socialist Association of Legal Professionals.
He was denounced by members of the Nazi party as a liberal, but was protected by Joachim Von Ribbentrop, who valued his knowledge of Great Britain.[1] After the war, he became professor of International Law at Munich.[1]
