Edmund Veesenmayer (12 November 1904 – 24 December 1977) was a high-ranking German SS functionary and Holocaust perpetrator during the Nazi era. He significantly contributed to the Holocaust in Hungary and in the Independent State of Croatia (NDH). Veesenmayer was a subordinate of Ernst Kaltenbrunner and Joachim von Ribbentrop, and worked with Adolf Eichmann.[1] He was involved in dismembering Czecho-Slovakia in 1939,[2]
in the establishment of the Ustaše-run NDH puppet state following the April 1941 German invasion of Yugoslavia, and in the selection and installation of the 1941–1944 puppet regime of Milan Nedić in the German-occupied territory of Serbia.[3] After World War II Veesenmayer was tried and convicted at the Ministries Trial; in 1949 he was sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment, but was released after serving two years.

[Veesenmayer] next played a key role in the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia by assisting the Slovakian People's Party led by Jozef Tiso. Initially reluctant, Tiso eventually succumbed to the pressure applied by Veesenmayer and others, and a treaty confirming the subservience of the new Slovakian state to Nazi Germany was signed in March 1939.
