Hugo Byttebier

Hugo Byttebier (born Wulverghem, 4 April 1924, died Hurlingham, Buenos Aires, 25 March 2004) was a Belgian who served in the German SS.

He was the oldest son of Michel Joseph "José Miguel" Byttebier (born Heestert, 24 May 1897, died Antwerp, 26 August 1983). Marcel Georges "Gerardo" Byttebier (born Heestert, 8 October 1905, died Mendoza, 30 September 1978) was a younger brother of "José Miguel". Both were sentenced to death in Belgium in 1946 for helping to build the Atlantic Wall. They escaped in time to South America.

One of their cousins, Michel Jerôme Norbert Byttebier (born Sint-Denijs, 5 January 1898, died Wevelgem, 13 September 1965), was war mayor in Wevelgem during the Second World War (1942-1944).

Hugo Byttebier ended up having a footnote in the history of Holocaust denial: it was he who gave the manuscripts of Adolf Eichmann to the English writer David Irving.
