Heinrich-Georg Graf[a] Finck von Finckenstein (22 November 1894 – 19 February 1984) was a member of an old German noble family who served in the Imperial German Army during the First World War. After the war ended, he belonged to several right-wing paramilitary groups, and fought in the Kapp Putsch, the Silesian Uprisings and against the French occupation of the Ruhr. He then became a member of the Nazi Party and its paramilitary unit, the Sturmabteilung (SA), rising to the rank of SA-Obergruppenführer. He was also a politician, and sat as a Reichstag deputy from 1938 to 1945.
