|Wilhelm Weber (19 March 1918 – 2 March 1980) was a mid-level commander in the Waffen-SS of Nazi Germany during World War II. He was a member of the SS Division Charlemagne and was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross.
In April 1945, about 350 men of the division volunteered to go to fight in the Battle of Berlin in a unit which became known as Sturmbataillon Charlemagne. Weber went with the group to Berlin as a group commander. During the fighting on 29 April, Weber was wounded and evacuated to the make-shift field hospital in the basement of the Reich Chancellery. It was his sixth combat wound of the war. While there he briefed area commander, SS-Brigadeführer Wilhelm Mohnke as to the situation along front lines of the government district.
