Hans Georg Fritzsche (21 April 1900 – 27 September 1953) was a senior German Nazi official, ending the war as Ministerialdirektor at the Propagandaministerium. Among Downfall Parodies' makers and fans alike, he is most well known as "the guy Burgdorf tries to shoot". His clash with Wilhelm Burgdorf is explained in many historical books, albeit in the film it is simplified.
