Heinrich Maier DDr. (German: [ˈhaɪnʁɪç ˈmaɪɐ] ; 16 February 1908 – 22 March 1945)[1] was an Austrian Roman Catholic priest, pedagogue, philosopher and a member of the Austrian resistance,[1][2] who was executed as the last victim of Hitler's regime in Vienna.[citation needed]
The resistance group he led is considered to be one of the most important for the Allies during World War II.[3][4]
