Eduard Schulte

Eduard Reinhold Karl Schulte (4 January 1891 in Düsseldorf – 6 January 1966 in Zürich) was a prominent German industrialist. He was one of the first to warn the Allies and tell the world of the Holocaust and systematic exterminations of Jews in Nazi Germany occupied Europe, corroborating the Grojanowski Report.

Whereas the Account of a Forced Gravedigger transmitted in the earliest testimony of mass-execution by gassing in the extermination center Chelmno, the leak by Schulte known as the Riegner Telegram confirmed that plans were being discussed in Fuhrer headquarters to apply this form of murder to all transports and deportations of Jews from Europe.

During World War I, Schulte led the department for soap production within the War Ministry. Due to his career as a manager in the 1920s to 1940s, he had frequent contact with high German government and military officials, as well as other industrialists who had access to important information.
