Wilhelm Brückner (11 December 1884 – 18 August 1954) was Adolf Hitler's chief adjutant until October 1940. Thereafter, Brückner joined the Heer (army), becoming an Oberst (colonel) by the end of World War II. In the First World War, Brückner was an officer in a Bavarian infantry regiment and was discharged as a lieutenant. In late 1922 he joined the en:Nazi Party (NSDAP). On 9 November 1923 Brückner took part in the Beer Hall Putsch in Munich, and was found guilty of aiding and abetting high treason. Brückner was appointed Chief Adjutant to Hitler on 20 February 1934, and retained that role until being dismissed on 18 October 1940.
