Walter Krüger (27 February 1890 – 22 May 1945) was a German SS official during the Nazi era. In World War II, he commanded the SS Division Polizei, the SS Division Das Reich, and the VI SS Army Corps (Latvian). At the end of the war, Krüger committed suicide.
Born in Strasbourg, Alsace-Lorraine, German Empire (today France), Krüger was the son of an army officer and attended cadet school. As a young officer, he joined an artillery regiment during World War I. After World War I, he joined the paramilitary Freikorps and fought in the Baltic region during 1919.
From 1933, Krüger worked in the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht training department. In 1935, he joined the SS-Verfügungstruppe and served as an instructor at the SS Officer's school at the SS-Junker School Bad Tölz. He earned the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, after taking command of the SS Division Polizei, which fought on the Leningrad front.
Krüger became commander of the SS Division Das Reich in March 1943. After that, he went on to become the inspector general of infantry troops of the Waffen-SS. He was then posted to the VI SS Army Corps (Latvian), a paper command. On 22 May 1945, Krüger committed suicide in the Courland Pocket fourteen days after the surrender of Nazi Germany.
