Timeline

1912

Wilfred von Oven (4 May 1912 – 13 June 2008) was a Bolivian–German journalist, publicist and civil servant who served as the Press Adjutant of Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels between 1943 and the German capitulation in 1945.

Wilfred von Oven was born in La Paz, Bolivia to German parents, the father's side having a military tradition.

1917

His father died in Flanders in 1917: two uncles held high rank in the German Army, and of these Ernst von Oven (1859-1945) was the highest ranking German officer in the field at the Armistice and subsequently reported directly to the Minister of Defence.

Both helped form Freikorps paramilitaries to combat communism and the revolutionary movement in Germany.

1931

Oven joined the Nazi Party and its paramilitary wing, the SA, on 1 May 1931, but resigned from both exactly one year later in protest at the shift of Nazism further to the right (the "Stennes Revolt").

Oven was interested in journalism and served with the Nazis' Legion Condor in Spain as a war correspondent.

1939

After obtaining an Army commission in 1939 he served with the Propaganda Ministry as a war correspondent at the fronts in Poland and the Soviet Union during the Second World War.

1943

In 1943, with the rank of Lieutenant, the OKW appointed him as Goebbels' Press adjutant, which he remained until the end of the war.

In a German TV documentary on the "German Resistance", Oven described the events of the 20 July plot which he witnessed.

On the afternoon in question the Propaganda Ministry on the Wilhelmstrasse, with Goebbels inside, was surrounded by disloyal troops.

Goebbels ordered Oven to discover whether escape was possible.

He found they were trapped but reported that the telephone system was still working, an oversight by the plotters which assisted in their downfall.

1945

At the capitulation in 1945 Oven went into hiding under an assumed name to escape Allied internment: Werner Naumann, the replacement Propaganda Minister for Goebbels whose assistant Oven would have been, fled to Argentina in 1946, where Oven arrived in 1951.

Oven was declared persona non grata by the Federal German Embassy in Buenos Aires and remained a committed Nazi.

He continued to reject Christianity for paganism in Argentina.

He was married, and the author of several books and numerous magazine articles.

In his book Auschwitz: The Nazis and The 'Final Solution', Laurence Rees discusses an interview he conducted with Oven.

He was asked if he could sum up his experience of the Third Reich in one word, what would it be, to which Oven responded: "Paradise".

2008

Oven died in Buenos Aires, Argentina at 13 June 2008, aged 96.
