Arnold Paul Krammer (15 August 1941 – 24 September 2018)[2] was an American historian who specialized in German and United States history and a professor in the College of Liberal Arts at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. He was twice a Fulbright scholar: between 1992–1993, he studied at the University of Tübingen[3] and, between 2002–2003, he studied at the University of Jena.[4]

He was born in Chicago, Illinois to David and Eva (Vas) Krammer. He studied at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where he earned his BS, MS, and, in 1970, PhD degrees. He came to Texas A&M in 1974 and retired in 2015, having taught American and German history to thousands of Aggies. His specialties included the First and Second World Wars, 20th Century Germany, and the Holocaust. He led numerous study abroad groups of Aggies to Germany, Italy, Normandy, and Poland. He was twice honored with the Texas A&M University Distinguished Faculty Award for Teaching.[5]
