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.

The resistance group he led is considered to be one of the most important for the Allies during World War II.[3][4]
