Ernst Wendler (April 24, 1890 - March 31, 1986) was a German diplomat and businessman. Wendler served as the ambassador of Nazi Germany to Bolivia from 1938 to 1941, and to Thailand from 1943 to 1945. He was also the Consul at the German Consulate-General in New Orleans, United States, from 1934 to 1936, and was succeeded by Edgar von Spiegel.[1] As ambassador to Bolivia, he engaged with pro-Nazi elements in the Bolivian government and was eventually expelled under President Enrique Peñaranda.
