Ernst Werner Techow (12 October 1901 – 9 May 1945) was a German right-wing assassin. In 1922, he took part in the assassination of the Foreign Minister of Germany Walther Rathenau. After his release from prison Techow initially joined the Nazi party, but soon fell out with the movement and dropped into obscurity. Late in World War II he joined the Volkssturm. He was killed after being captured by the Soviet Red Army near Dresden on 9 May 1945. Techow supposedly changed his political beliefs after his release from prison, joined the French Foreign Legion under the name of "Tessier" and later embarked on helping Jews escape from occupied France. This unfounded narrative can be traced back a story by George W. Herald of Harper's Magazine in 1943.

  • Ernst Werner Techow (* 12. Oktober 1901 in Berlin; † 9. Mai 1945 in Königsbrück) war ein deutscher Redakteur, Fotograf und Angestellter. Er gehörte während der Weimarer Republik der rechtsextremen bzw. rechtsterroristischen Organisation Consul (O.C.) an und steuerte beim Attentat auf Walther Rathenau am 24. Juni 1922 den Wagen, aus dem heraus seine Mittäter Hermann Fischer und Erwin Kern den Reichsaußenminister töteten. Techow blieb nach seiner Haftentlassung in Deutschland und verschwand weitgehend in der Anonymität. Um ihn rankt sich die Legende, er habe während des Zweiten Weltkrieges als Hauptmann der Légion étrangère mehrere Hundert Juden vor der Verfolgung gerettet. (de)

  • Ernst Werner Techow (12 octobre 1901 – 9 mai 1945) est un assassin allemand d'extrême droite. En 1922, il prend part à l'assassinat du ministre des affaires étrangères Walther Rathenau. Après sa libération de prison, il rejoint le parti nazi, mais sort rapidement du mouvement et tombe dans l'oubli. Vers la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, il rejoint le Volkssturm. Il est tué après avoir été capturé par l'armée rouge soviétique près de Dresde, le 9 mai 1945. La légende raconte que Techow a changé d'opinion politique après sa sortie de prison, rejoint la légion étrangère française sous le nom de « Tessier » et s'engage à aider les juifs à fuir la France occupée. Ce récit totalement infondé repose sur des on-dit dont le journaliste American George W. Herald a tiré une histoire pour le magaz (fr)
