Udo Walendy

Udo Walendy (21 January 1927 – 17 November 2022) was a German Holocaust denier. Like Gerd Schultze-Rhonhof, he disputed Germany's guilt for the Second World War.

Towards the end of the war Walendy was drafted first into the Reichsarbeitsdienst (auxiliary force), then the Luftwaffenhelfer (child soldier in the air force) and finally into the regular Wehrmacht (the German military). He completed his Abitur (secondary education) in 1946 and then went to journalism school in Aachen. From 1950 to 1956 he studied political science at the Hochschule für Politik in West Berlin, where he received his diploma. which continues to be published by the Vrij Historisch Onderzoek (VHO) in Flanders. Its very first edition from 1974 contains a German translation of Richard Harwood's Holocaust-denying booklet "Did Six Million Really Die?". The German translation of Arthur Butz's book The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, in which the author attempts to discredit the evidence for the Holocaust.

Walendy was charged with criminal activity several times, including under Germany's Volksverhetzung law (incitement to hatred).
