Fritz Streletz
Fritz Streletz (born 28 September 1926 in Friedrichsgrätz, then Weimar Germany) is a former army general of the GDR.

In 1944 he entered the "Wehrmacht" as a noncommissioned officer after graduating from military school in Deggendorf. He was captured by Soviet forces in February 1945 and released in October 1948, whereupon he joined the "Volkspolizei". In 1956 he joined the precursor to the National People's Army, the "Kasernierte Volkspolizei as an officer".

In 1991, after the re-unification of Germany, Streletz was arrested. He was charged in February 1992 for the incitement to kill German civilians fleeing East Germany and was found guilty. He was sentenced to five years and six months in prison but was released in October 1997.

Streletz remained committed to the GDR's ideals after re-unification.
