Eduard Stadtler (February 17, 1886 in Hagenau – October 5, 1945 in NKVD special camp Nr. 7) was a German journalist and nationalist politician who formed the Anti-Bolshevist League in 1918.[1] Stadtler had begun advocating the creation of a "national socialist" dictatorship in 1918.[2]

Stadtler had been a member of the German National People's Party (DNVP) until 1933 when he defected to the Nazi Party weeks prior to the DNVP being dissolved.[3]

After the Second World War ended, he was arrested by the Soviet NKVD and died in the NKVD special camp Nr. 7.
