Edmund Glaise-Horstenau (also known as Edmund Glaise von Horstenau; 27 February 1882 – 20 July 1946) was an Austrian Nazi politician who became the last Vice-Chancellor of Austria, appointed by Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg under pressure from Adolf Hitler, shortly before the 1938 Anschluss.
During the Second World War Glaise-Horstenau became a general in the German Wehrmacht and served as Plenipotentiary General to the Independent State of Croatia.
Dismayed by the atrocities committed by the Ustaše, he was involved in the Lorkovic-Vokic plot, with the purpose of overthrowing Ante Pavelic's regime and replacing it with a pro-Allied government.
