Johann Maier (born 23 June 1906 in Berghofen, today part of Aham, Lower Bavaria; died 24 April 1945 in Regensburg) was from 1939 until his death a preacher at Regensburg Cathedral. On 22 April 1945, Reich Defence Commissar Ludwig Ruckdeschel took city defence to the extreme in Regensburg when United States Army tanks had already reached the Danube. The next day, an excited crowd of people gathered at the Moltkeplatz – nowadays known as Dachauplatz. Wikipedia
