Friedrich Weber

Friedrich Weber was a German veterinarian. In the First World War, he served in the Royal Bavarian Army, and later was a member of a Freikorps unit. In October 1922, under the Weimar Republic, he became the leader of the Bund Oberland, a paramilitary unit opposed to the republic, and participated in Adolf Hitler's failed Beer Hall Putsch in November 1923. Along with Hitler, he was convicted of treason in 1924 and, after his release from prison, continued to head the re-established Bund Oberland until November 1929.
